And one idiot to say that the blinker fluid was low, and the light bulb or lamp was fine.

Today, that idiot is me.

The recommended summer time blinker fluid is #80 gear oil ... the OP was obviously using 10w30 ... or the ground strap between the blinker and the firewall is corroded.

. . . and the post about goats and what not.

And one who says "it's still in warranty, take it to the dealer" :-)
