you are a fu**ing moron apparantly... I'm a woman, and even I know that you don't have fluid to change when your stupid turn signal starts to fade... but go ahead, take it to the dealership or a very expensive mechanic (cuz lord knows they are supposed to be the best) and have them fix it... for something that could cost you less than $5 you'll spend over $500... you deserve that you moron..

Fluid? Silly man. It may be a flasher relay but when that happens the indicators usually blink faster due to the lack of control the relay exerts on the indicator. Have you pumped up your tyres to the right pressure? Or maybe you are using non-specified brake fluid? Check those items first before changing the flasher relay. BTW if you don't fix it soon it will mean reversing of the blinker relay action coupling unit. Then you will get opposite indications when you use the indicators. i.e. you will signal a right turn and a left turn indicator will come on. Many drivers in Melbourne Australia must suffer from this because I see it happening often around here Often when they are on the phone or doing their makeup.

as far as i know , there is no 'fluid' in the turn signal for any vehicle . there is a fuse that that lets current (voltage) get to the signaling device , so check that first . but there is also a relay that controls the flash rate of the signals , if 1 bulb is burnt out or missing , it will flash double speed , but if the relay gets overloaded from too much voltage ,it will go slowly and then quit alltogether.

There is no fluid for a turn signal. The slow rate of flashing is due to the flasher relay which can vary. If you replace that, it will return to normal.

it's very important that you have some beer under your belt before you get started. first you want to pop the hood, (be sure the car is running) then you just want to stick your hand in there in the belts. dont be shy just stick any ol' extremity in there. you should feel a slight pinch. good now you should be bleeding quite a bit, punch yourself in the face. refuse medical treatment. die horribly. and now your turn signal should be working just fine.

Usually there is a resevoir somewhere between the washer fluid tank and the radiator overflow tank. BE SURE TO USE ONLY DOT APPROVED FLUID,,,CHECK YOUR LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE FOR HELP...

You can't be serious. There is no blinker fluid.
If your signals are slowing down, your battery is getting kinda low causing this.
It happens to me once in a while too.

If you simply apply a good thick coat of vaseline to the entire steering wheel, this will speed things along.

I believe your problem is related to the flux capacitor. You need to get the capacitor up to at least 1.21 gigowatts for it function correctly. Go see your local dealer

You will have to take it to the dealer for their special directional fluid.
