I my way home from work tonight, my turn signals broke, :( but in a wierd way. They are solid now and do not even blink. They worked about 2 mi up the road from my house, and now they don't. No light is out, just when I turn the turn signals on, its just a solid green arrow and solid lights on the out side. None of them even blink! :shock:

Please healp!

Wow, it went out just like that?

Whats a good replacement? And, forgive my stupidity, where it it located? Is it that round silver thing under the dash?

If you found the round silver thing, then there it is. Do the hazards work?

Do as Dan says (sounds like a T.V. show doesn't it?) and replace it. I suggest getting an electronic one from your friendly parts store. They are about 5-6 bucks on average, and will draw alot less current than the old Bi-metal units. Plus... you get that new car "clicking" sound.

W00t..

Yep, electronic. Ideal or Tridon #EL-12C. It's in a see-through plastic can instead of metal.

I just got my new flasher, still no signals! :( My emergency flashers work, but not the turn signals. Any suggestions? Is there a fuse?

There should be 2 flashers. One for the emergency and one for the turn lights

Well, mine is under the dash close to the glove box, kinda between the heater controls and the glove box itself. This is in a '68 Dart.
