Whacky turn signal
Thank you for your suggestion, but could I impose on you to find out where this is located...if you know of course.

The electrical system guide in the on line manual has a component location section but to answer the question it is behind the instrument cluster.

The ticking is so quiet, it was very difficult to zero in on the exact location...I thought it must be around there somewhere? Thank you for your response it is much appreciated.

The easiest 1st step is adding an additional ground from the gauge cluster to the chassis.

But MY first step would be an additional ground. Fixes 99% of gauge cluster electrical issues.

Thank you Nobby, does that include the flasher relay too ?...or is that a separate issue?

could also be as simple as a bad or failing or wrong bulb in a socket. A bad ground at the socket ect ect... one step at a time
bulbs OK? ground OK? Extra Ground, any help? relay changed ? short somewhere?
