This is the strangest thing I've ever seen... I've got an '85 GSL-SE and the turn signals don't work until I've had the car running long enough (and the heat is on and not freezing inside). Then all of a sudden *poof* they work like magic.

The Hazard lights do the same thing, haven't worked at all yet (although I haven't tried them when the turn signals ARE working yet, so they might work at the same time the turn signals are working).

 

I sometimes have that problem too.

 

you guys dont know about that?, mazda did that to discourage people from driving their rotarys until they have reached operating temperature, i belive there is a thermostat on the turn signal control module......







































if you belived this for more than 3 seconds please, go sit in an ice cold shower for punishment

 

maybe I need to fill up the turn signal fluid huh?

Anyone want to come up with a fix or reason?

 

I have that same problem with my Honda... the turn signal 'flasher' unit freezes inside, therefore not working until it heats up.

 

Bad ground connection-doesn't make good contact until the metal expands. Just a thought.

 

so it's not a common problem?

 

whats more common is the highlights with the combo switch problem (do a search)

maybe taking out the combo switch and cleaning it up a little will help???
