Having a real irritating time with it lately!

Had to have upper and lower balljoints replaced on one side to get it aligned. They replaced the CV axle seals too. Needs new rear axle seals on one side and a pinion seal on the front driveshaft.

The electrical is the real nightmare though. Right signal wont work when the night time lights come on. The left signals don't both work in the day time (bumper light + headlight signal). And the 2 signals don't alternate like they did before. I have no idea what the problem is and I'm at a total loss.

It looks good though...

Gonna sound stupid, but I just had the same problem. Replaced the flasher module (underneath and behind the radio area) and it fixed it. Might be worth a shot. Plus, it was like 10 bucks.

True might be worth trying. I have had the flasher go bad before but it acted a lot differently than this.

When I signal left in the day time the backlighting in my touchscreen flashes with it...... Seems like I have a really bad ground but I've checked them all.

Been slackin on here. Busy lately!

I ended up saying screw it to the LED signals. Got some clear chrome ones and took them to a painting place to get spray tinted (my attempted with VHT big time sucked).

Replaced rear axle seals. Needs a new pinion seal and the brake rotors are warped. Probably from one of the many shops that's worked on it this summer lugged it wrong.

Took some pics too.
