Umm, noooo. My mechanic assured me he changes my blinker fluid every time he does the weekly overhaul on my muffler bearings, so that can't be it!

When you have the heater on turn it to vest (or dash) and turn the vents towards the switches, once they heat up...good to go.

Thanks for the help, Spike!

The good news is that the DI and DII use the same wiper and turn signal switch.
The only thing you need to watch out for is that the '03 and '04 had different color options for the wiper and turn stalk.
So if yours is black make sure you get another black one and not tan.

Thanks for the link. Maybe you also have some advise on becoming an a-hole. Seems like you have that down too.

My blinkers have been a bit slow. So taking Spike's advice I now warm them up with a hairdryer before I take off. My neighbors think I'm crazy--but they know when I want to turn!

Alright, blinkers are not that important. Honestly, my rover if fine. The problem is with my bosses 2000 rover. He asked for advise. So here i am. i was thinking a relay, a switch, or even a connection issue. I'm not going to tell him to use a hair dryer.
