Where to buy blinker fluid?
Hey guys i'm kind of stumped on this one.
This is in an S5
So my right side blinker isn't working in the rear or the front. Bulbs seem fine (but I must be honest I haven't actually tested them). The light in the cluster doesn't come on. If i turn on my hazards, only the left signal comes on, and only the left cluster light turns on. When I try and signal right, I get rapid clicking on the relay.
I pulled out the CPU and it's fine. I pulled out the board and had my friend, and electrical engineer, test it. While in the car, I get voltage at the Green/Yellow wire when the lever is switched on to the right.
Does anybody know how I should proceed? I'd think that if a bulb were out then at least I'd get one of the blinkers and the light in the cluster would come on double time, but I'm getting symptoms of a bad flasher board even though it works fine.

Yep definitely need to verify proper output from flasher relay first, then if that fails I believe I have a good s5 CPU though from a vert but if needed $15 shipped via usps flat rate

Smells like 2 stroke.
The contacts in the flasher relay could possibly be corroded. That would explain the clicking but no light output. When in doubt, check everything.
In response to the title, auto parts stores generally keep turn signal fluid on the same aisle as the muffler bearings.

okay! I will check the green/white wire when I get home today. Perhaps the board is bad after all. If it is my friend is a terrible EE
Also: got it. next to the muffler bearings. thanks!

i just fixed this on mine. its actually a very simple circuit. the switch turns on the flasher, and the flasher switches the light bulbs.
so if you hear the click/click the switch/wire and half the flasher are probably good, you need to look on the bulb side.
mine was a bad solder joint between the flasher body and the board. i think it might have been the ground, but it kind of looked like that's how they flasher was attached to the board.
if this wasn't an FC, i'd say you should check the bulbs first, but the Kioto bulbs are beyond excellent.

Okay so I'm not getting any voltage at the Green/White wire with the switch pressed to the right. As a control, I checked the Green/Black wire while the switch is going to the left and I do get a constantly changing voltage. So I guess this means my flasher board has gone bad.

I do indeed get voltage at the Green/Yellow wire when the switch is set to 'right'.
Thanks for your help!
It looks like I'll have to either figure out how to fix this flasher board or source a working one.
