    I just got back from lunch and my signal / Brake lights stopped working.
    Head lights work fine.
    The "buzzer" that sounds when I leave the door open isn't working either.
    I checked the Flasher, it seems fine. Nothing noticable burnt out in it.
    I pulled both signals out and shook em around, cleaned the ends and placed them back in, still no signal / buzzer / park lights going on.

    Any tips?
    I'd hate to use hand signals in this crappy drizzle out side on the way home tonight.

    did you check your fuses?
    ive had it where the fuses are good but there is carosion on the terminals of the fuses. so pull them out and try cleaning them with either a rat tail file or some sand paper.

    Well, it was working until I got home. I found a smaller metal cylinder under the dash that looks like the flasher fuse thing. It was warm to the touch, I think it's blown. Gonna see about replacing it tomorrow morning. I'll also go through the fuses and clean them. I bought a pack of new ones one the way home to replace the older looking ones.
