My turn signals are f***ed up!!!

Dude, wtf. OK, so last night I was driving home, and then both of my turn signals started blinking fast. Like one of the bulbs were out. But only when I signal, the hazards are still at normal speed. Anyhow, I get out and check my bulbs, and all of them are working, so I dunno why its blinking fast.

So today, I took it into a shop to have it checked out. And they said I was running low on blinker fluid. Can anyone recommend a good brand/type of blinker fluid I should get? Are there any types that can increase my horssepower?

Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me.

Our blinkers need fluid for what now?

I know that this has occured before with toyotas. My ex's camry (new body) flipped out and was hyper speed. At the time she kept it cause it was our ricer days and she just saw it as a free hyper blinker upgrade...but yea, what's the fluid for?

Yea I have the same problem. The blinker didn't blink as well as it used to. Sometimes, when I'm turning and I signal, the car just doesn't feel the same...Any help with this would be appreciated...

P.S. Anyone know how I can adjust the cabin light to help with my take off?

I don't know about the cabin light in the 6MT's, but if you are driving a 5AT in manumatic mode and start out with both cabin lights on, turn one off after shifting from 1-2, and the other after shifting from 2-3, then you cut 3-4 seconds off your ET at the track.

I didn't know they made synthetic blinker fluid. You learn something new everyday.

Try doing an ECU reset, then a battery disconnect to rectify.

You need to scrub your current prior to introducing any new electrical modifications to your G. Not doing so will cause all your electrons to slow down over time, which I am guessing would be a bad thing.

Good luck,
