1996 LX 4-Door Blinkers by thegraduate
May 17, 2009 (12:07 pm)

Hey all, quick question.
 
I have a '96 LX 4-cyl 4-door with 193k miles on it. Lately, I've noticed that my blinkers will hesitate from the time I push down the stalk to the time they start flashing. It is worse when temps are cooler, and when the car hasn't been driven for the day. As time goes on, the hesitation goes away.
 
I'll move to signal a turn, nothing will happen for about one second, then I hear the click but at double-time speed (no flashing on the instrument panel or outside) much like when a bulb is out, then it will pick up and blink like normal. Today was the longest time-period with no blinking (over 5 seconds) and it nearly got me rear-ended; I had to go to the next block and double back to make my turn.
 
Any thoughts or suggestions on what the problem could be? Any/all replies are most appreciated!
 
Thanks!
 
TheGraduate
 
PS: No bulbs are out, and the hazard flashers work immediately when you press the button.

My guess is your turn signal flasher is acting up. The last time I worked with flashers, there were 2, one for the turn signals, one for the hazard flashers. Typically they use the same flasher module, which means if you can locate them (follow the sound) and swap them with each other, you can see if you have a bad one or not without spending a dime.

1995 Accord Speedometer Problem by tybum
May 17, 2009 (4:49 pm)

My speedometer quit, wife drove the car played with the odometer reset and speedometer worked for a few miles. Cruise always worked. Changed the VSS( vehicle speeed sensor) did no good, but since I change the VSS the odometer has registered an additional 40 miles and I am sure the speedo worked during those 40 miles I just did not notice. Speedo registers 20 mph all the time the switch is on. Since it worked and does not worked it sounds like a loose wire or connection but where do I look or is there another solution??
 
Sure would like some help,

You can find info on fuses in your owners manual under "taking care of the unexpected" Turn signals are located in the under dash panel on the drivers side.

It's not the fuses that are the problem; its the flashers. They aren't the same thing, right?

Signal flasher is located in the under-dash fuse box. As I recall, hazard flasher is located in the under-hood fuse box located on the passengers side in the front of the engine compartment. If they both are the same, you can put the hazard flasher in the slot for the signal flasher to verify that the signal flasher is the problem.
  Flashers and fuses are different but they tend to be located in the same box, either under hood or under dash. You should find a diagram under each cover that shows where the flasher is and which fuse controls what circuit.

Awesome. Thanks for the info. So all I (likely) have to do is pull them out, like a fuse, and swap them?

As long as both are the same. The diagram under each cover will give you that info. If one is 7.5 amps and the other is 15 amps don't swap them, buy a new one.

If your unsure exactly where the flasher is, or which module is the right one, turn on your turn signals and listen for the click. Most flasher modules produce the clicking noise, so they are usually easy to locate. An online parts store shows both the emergency flasher and turn signal flasher as the same part number, so swapping them out should work. They just pull out/push in. They are bigger then fuses.
