When I use the right or left turn signals the exterior lights operates normally but the indicator on the center gauge flashes 1x or 2x then goes out, what gives, I try looking at the diagram and the wires comes from the #31 warning light switch, what's that ?? Is that a fancy name for the turn signal assy. If not where is this WARNING LIGHT SWITCH ??
Anyone got any ideas. I am sorry I don't even know what to search for on this electrical gremlin. Thanks in advance Ted |

I posted a thread for this 2 days ago.
If you don't have the bulbs installed on the front or rear signals or the housings are disconnected, you will experience that. |

Does it work right when you put the hazards lights on?

I am sure it is something with the load on the bulbs. Are you using LED's? Or any other types of bulbs?
Here is the thread. Thread |

Nothing special, original lighting, I will have to re-examine the bulbs more closely and check if the hazard works also,
thanks for the tip (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

Relay. Had the same problem. Separate circuits for dash and body lights. Get a new relay.

So I bought a used flasher installed it and it is doing the same thing. I added a second ground to the relay which made no difference. I also inspected all the bulbs and they looked normal. Any other ideas ? Could it be the second relay was bad ? Is there any way to test the relay ? Should I try a new one from eBay ? Anything else to check ?
