Title: Here is a DUH question!
Post by: FL318is on August 14, 2006, 07:02:20 AM

OK, I have to ask since the car did not come with an owners manual (on order).  The turn signals on the side of the car, in the bumper, are those supposed to blink?  I have to take it to the FL DMV for inspection.

The dash turn signal does not blink fast as to indicate a blown bulb.  If they are supposed to blink, what is the fix?  

Thanks

I believe that only the ones in the front of the bumper should blink.  The side ones do not IIRC.

I just heard the side lights were only running lights.

The side markers do not blink but there is a thread out there somewhere that explains how to make them blink .:)

I found it !!!!!!!
