blinker fluid.

Might be a carryover from the narp valve :o ! Blinker fluid IS linked to the narp valve, and it just might be cylinder reversion causing a perimeter voltage fluctuation and causing it to reverse the functions as well! Tell me, does your headlights come on instead of the tails when you step on the brakes (in some cases the accelerator)? DON'T tell me it's the accelerator, because that's the most severe reversion!

^^^^ Do everything in order, if it's not the bulb, move on to fuses, then blinker fluid, then the narp valve...

Of you can be a little more descriptive, and we'll help you more specifically

you have it all wrong. S15lara had that issue before his conversion. he told me that his new headlights require SYNTHETIC blinker fluid.. i think they have them at advance auto parts..

best thing to do is, disconnect battery, check fuse, check the narps, THEN if still nothing, go to dealership or autozone and ask for their best blinker fluid, the guys there will be happy to help you out!

Oddly my corner lights stopped working simultaneously with my taillights. I replaced the fuse I think it was 10 and everything worked normally again.
