The blinkers do not work at all when I turn my headlights on. All stock parts. I'm assuming I have a ground issue. Any ideas where best place to start? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | Check the charging voltage & the battery. The voltage may be dropping to much at idle. If that's OK replace the flasher. You have 2 flashers on that truck. Be shure you get the right one. The other is for the 4 way.

A flasher relies on the proper amount of current flow to make the bimetal circuit breaker inside it heat and cool at the proper speed. You either don't have the proper voltage applied to the flasher, or one or more of the bulbs has a dirty ground, preventing them from drawing the proper current. Do any of the turn signal bulbs burn dimmer than the others?
