My left turn siganl stopped working. We changed the bulb, but that wasn’t it. The light comes on, but doesn’t blink. Dealer changed out socket and it worked for 2 days. Then it started working intermittently. Now it does not work at all again. It only worked for 2 days before it broke again. Dealer says that can’t figure out what’s wrong with it. Any ideas?

Have you tried changing out the turn signal flasher?

I agree. Try replacing the flasher module.

Gosh who else was tempted to say blinker fluid? Try another dealer, could be a ground fault in the socket or bulb but no offense to rocket scientists but it ain’t rocket science. A second opinion is better than can’t figure it out. I assume it is warranty and all dealerships honor warranty no matter where it was purchased.

I’m not familiar with the circuit but I find it hard to believe the dealer cannot solve this problem. This cannot be that complicated. It cannot be so obscure a problem that your dealer can offer no help in solving your problem. And frankly, if you have been charged and paid for a repair for this problem, especially via a dealer, you deserve to have had the problem resolved. Go back to the dealer and insist the problem be resolved.
