Default Blinker problem

HEy, i am trying to get my 91 gt inspected, but the turn signals are giving me a problem. When i flip the lever right(up) or left(down) the light just stays on, it doesnt blink!!!?! Anyone else had a problem like this? I really need to get this thing inspected, i got a ticket for no inspection two days ago. Please help. Thanks in advance

sounds like low blinker fluid. I'd change it and that should fix your problem.....

+1^


a flasher would be the only thing causing it not to blink. sometimes the hazards will still work even if the turn signals dont. i think i've even seen a few cases where the hazards are ran off a different flasher, just incase the other one goes out due to constantly using your blinkers. your flasher is under your dash somewhere. its a little silver deal with 2 or 3 male terminals sticking out of it

it looks like this

flux capacitor .... that's the name of the part you need. ask for it down at your local parts store.
