Question My signal light acting up again...

Yea, when my muffler broke down today, I also notice that my signal lights were not working correctly and my hazards lights. I turn them on when I was in the side of the freeway trying to remove the muffler and my hazard lights stay direct on. I also try using my signal turning lights and they stay on direct. I just got new lights for them and they turn out to be working fine. Not anymore though;

Any idea what I should check or do to make them work again?

ok will take a look at it, I might end up getting a new one and hope that it dosen't cost alot. To many things to get and little money. By the way is there a way to test it? Maybe is a lost wire or bad connection or even a short somewhere.

If you shake it and it works then yo probably have a cold solder joint. An iron and a few minutes will fix. Re-solder ALL the joints, 15 IIRC for the flashers.
