    CANT FIND IT????

    Its labeled, actually engraved and inset with powder coating. Letters are like 3 inches tall.

    Look on the back of the engine. You have to climb on top and stick your head way down there to see it.

    oh, and open the hood. might help

    Try this first. To check if your blinkers are working properly, with the vehicle running or key in "on" position, lift the lever on the left side of the steering column up until it clicks. That should actuate the right blinker. Next move the same lever down 2 clicks to actuate the left blinker. Return the lever to the center position when finished testing. Problem solved! When driving, you shouldn't have to return the lever to the center "neutral" position as the auto makers who dared to install this feature have come up with a brilliant self- cancelling function that is supposed to turn the blinker off after you finish making a turn in the direction of the blinking side. You will, however, have to re-initialize the blinker for each turn you make. Also, there is no need to use the blinker around curves in the road or when travelling straight ahead. It seems that many people have not mastered or even attempted the technique for using this amazing option. Hope this helps.

    The blinker fluid article also failed to mention to re-check the fluid level after several applications of the blinkers, due to trapped air in the system. The blinker system is self- bleeding and any trapped air will be expelled through the vent tube on the back side of the resevoir. The fluid will eventually replace the expelled air, and that is why the level should be re-checked.

    If one really insist on changing the blinker fluild and has no idea where to change it at....just take a 20lbs sludge and gentally knock the front and the rear blinkers...now there should be a small hole....now go to your nearest gas station get 1 gallon of gasoline (gasoline is easier to find then blinker fluid),dont worry about the octane, and a lighter, pour the gasoline into the hole. now light it with teh ligher...repeat until all blinkers are glowing with a firery red.....

    U don't need no stinkin blinkers anyway!! Just stick your arm out the window and give the ol hand signal to turn. Just keep that middle finger to yourself!!

    Just don't signal when you're in the stream rolling the VX to clean the windsheild!!

    I got tired of searching for the blinker fluid resivoir so I decided to just blink my eyes. Blink left eye for left turn, blink right eye for right turn, and blink both eyes for emergency blinkers! Works the same as far as I can see and doesn't cost a cent! FREE FIX FREE FIX FREE FIX!

    Funny! But, I have to say this has got to be rated as one of the dumbest threads I've read in a long time.

    As far as the poking fun at "Newbie" questions, STOP! You have to start somewhere and WE ALL started out as a newbie and WE ALL had questions at sometime. The only thing dumb about asking questions is not asking them.

    Arrow Moncha is right.

    I agree with Moncha 100%.

    I'll just add that I'm very disappointed in some of the leaders of this board who helped contribute to this topic.

    Thanks Moncha for stepping up to the plate and hitting a grand slam.

    I thought it was funny too, but never took this particular thread as anything more than a running gag between some bored VX'ers, I saw no reference to noob's here, but I think I know where that remark is directed.

    Okay everyone, please stop looking for your blinker fluid resevoir. There isn't one and there will never be one. This thread wasn't meant to offend anyone. We were just trying to shake things up a little. A little humor, that's all it was.

    If anyone would like to rip me personally "a new one" just send an e-mail, I don't mind.

    Remember:
    Life's too short to be so serious, have fun whenever you get the opportunity.

    Don't get me wrong, I wasn't ripping anyone in particular. I was merely pointing out that there has been a growing trend that was brought to my attention. See this post. I for one, love to see the jovial nature of this forum and will support any good joke but, never at the expense of others. Keep it fun and honest and I'd never have anything to moderate.

    Hey Spazz! Is that why you turned your VX upside down?! So you could safely change your blinker fluid?! That should do just fine as opposed to using the ACME reverse-gravity module someone mentioned about. This is a great, informative thread! Thanks for bring it to attention... MOST people take this forgranted... heck, nex thing you know, they will run dry and cause an accident... geesh!

    TTYL!

    Not to nit pick, but there have been some posts removed from that topic.
