[net.auto] Turn signal problem fix worked

   I received about 20 replies to: "why don't my turn signal blink?"
Two answers were offered:

1- Check the light bulbs.  If one is burnt the turn signals on that side
won't blink.

2- If you have the problem on both sides and all the light bulbs work,
replace the flasher.

   My problem was the second case cited.  I went out to buy a flasher.
The guy in the first store said I needed part 536 that goes for $1.97,
but they were out of it.  The second store had a Sylvania (sp?) flasher
compatible with 536 that went for $3.94.  That's exactly twice as much
as $1.97.  I was tired of running around, so, I bought it.

   I spent 15 minutes looking for where the flasher is located in the car.
Then I remembered that it would still blink once in a while!  I turned it
on and after a few tries it worked and I found where it was.  Hidden
behind a column!

   Lots of thanks to every who replied, and those who wanted to reply
but thought that surely a lot of other people would, so why bother.

Be careful out there.
