Message: <blockquote data-quote="RC92234" data-source="post: 408390" data-attributes="member: 6464">Was having oil pressure issues and took the car in for that and while there I had them try to fix the non-working blinkers as well.  This thread picks up on the electrics. Background:  although they didn't work prior, I had switched all the small bulbs (i.e,, everything but headlights) over to LEDs and grounded/LED flashing units.  I checked continuity on every connection I could access and found no issues.  I had also replaced the turn signal switch in the column because it didn't self-cancel when signaling left (replacing the switch made no diff in the blinkers not working, but it does self-cancel now).While yes, they did (sorta) get the blinkers to blink, I confess their work on this issue gives me pause on the wisdom of the shop; first thing they did was to switch back to incandescents (which changed nothing).  I need to chat w/the mechanic, not just the owner, to find out what they did because they did make progress in getting the blinkers working, just not as well as they think they did:  they only blink during the day.What I mean is that yes, left and right finally blink, but when you turn on parking or headlights, no blink.  And while I hadn't asked them to also fix the flickering dash lights (has a new circuit board, new IVF and all new LED replacement bulbs), I'd hope a blinker fix solved that problem, too.  It didn't.I'm open to any and all suggestions at this point.  I'm first going to put back the LEDs they switched out and see if that makes any difference.  And, I replaced the headlight switch although I suspect even though purchased as new, it was previously used (the rheostat? wire was worn).  At least I *can* use my blinkers during daytime when the headlights are not on.Now I'm seriously thinking of going full monty and replacing the wiring harness.  I tested at every bulb and found no continuity issue, and I had a pro working on it for two days and only got one interim step forward. Do y'all think that would address the issue, and with what certainty? (for sure, maybe, not at all).  I'm not convinced that's the only possible solution but it might be a big hop-skip-jump over finding the (one or more) shorts.</blockquote>
