    you think the ones from RPS are gonna be a better quality? if so I'll call them right up because not being able to signal is a doozy on a commute.

    Be sure to ask them if it has the metal plate riveted to the back. If it doesn't it will be too flimsy to activate and deactivate in both directions.

    They don't work at all. Could the wires be crossed? Don't think that would do anything. The light bulbs are fine and the fuses are all ok. The blinker fluid as mentioned before is full and not old.

    come on by. its been so long sence ive changed one of those cams i didnt rember those wires being involved with the cam. does anybody know what the wires are for? do the ground the switch or are they routing the power?
    mo have checked the fuses? could the wires have shorted out and blown the fuse? does the stick for the turn signals now move correctly? does it stay up when you put it up and reset when you turn the wheel?

    so I think this is the diagram for it. the black/Lt.green goes to the ignition switch and the other one I guess is Lt.blue and goes to "DIRECTION SIG. CONN."

    I don't understand what this blinker fluid is. I thought maybe you were saying something off the wall but then I see this

    Course I still don't get it...

    I am searching for that audio clip regarding the girl getting charged to replace her blinker fluid, just to let Blu in on the joke (if he is in fact perplexed). I cannot find it. Can someone post a link to it?

    Maybe you can find it on the Blu's Jokes thread (may not be funny). But I guess you never frequent such raunchy sites...:D

    speaking of the signal cam, I got this part in so I'm gonna install it and see if it'll fix my problem.
