Blinkers not working......

[SPAZZ]

My blinkers are not working. I was wondering if the VX has blinker fluid.... and ...if it does...is it hard to replace

Thanks for any help, you guys are all so great!!!

Oh yeah, the fluid resavior is located beside the exhaust pressure dump valve near the back of the engine. At's difficult to fill though because the cap is on the bottom of the tank. You have to pour the turn signal fluid upside-down. Once you accomplish that your turnsignals will operate fine and dandy.

Everyone,
Make sure that your turn signal fluid is full at all times, especially in cold climates. It's a very important part of general maintenance.

Do any manufacturers offer a synthetic?

But of course they do, right along with the synthetic coolant.

When I had my blinker fluid checked the dealer said it was low....they were out of Blinker fluid so they substituted with Brake fluid....now my blinkers flash when I use my brakes

Hey, at least they flash with Tones 3rd brake light flasher!!

I use the extended "long" life blinker fluid as the regular stuff thins out over time and your blinkers start slowing down; kinda like this:

BLINK....Blink.............blink.................. .....................bli--nk..............................................b l i n k..........................


That's where Blink182 got their name....182 seconds between blinks!

Spazz, it may not be your blinker fluid. Sometimes when they dont work, they are out of sync. Make sure and check your frequency grease. Sometimes it gets clogged.


Also, the electric charge may be caught in the lines. Unplug the bulb from the socket and try to blow some air into the wire. Might loosen up the signal.

It's funny, I've seen people unplug their turn signal connection and start wiping off the frequency grease. Don't think that they understand that turn signal fluid won't work properly without the assistance of the white frequency grease.

This site is so great and full of knowledge which leads to power. Soon we'll be able to take over the world!

Thanks SPAZZ. I laughed my @ss off when I read your post yesterday. You all are hilarious. The funniest part of this is thinking about how many guys out there believe this and are looking for the blinker fluid resovoir to make sure they don't run low.

I'd love to see the face on the service manager when they bring in their VX for servicing and also ask for the fluid to be blinker checked.

Instructions on changing blinker fluid

[VX_PA]

Look at that, step by step instructions! See JT, and you thought we were BS'ing all of you!!

In the VX we have to watch out for that rice.

Oh damn, forgot about the rice in the blinker fluid, that can cause problems if not adequatly drained.


EDIT: one thing the instructions forgot to mention. If your resevoir is on the left hand side of your car, you will need a Left handed torque wrench.
