Yeah, but Sam's car is an older T-Bird, so it has the old system.
“A gun is a tool, no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.”
Sam, if your blinkers aren't working then more than likely neither are your brake lights. I know you don't to want hurt anyone so at least check that. And honestly, replacing those bulbs is probably the quickest, easiest car repair there is. And even if that doesn't work, they're cheap and you saved yourself a little labor money at your mechanic 'cause he can skip that and look deeper.

There is a local firm that specializes in helping our more "seasoned" citizens pass driving tests and what not. The lady that runs it is an older Russian gal name Tonya Blinkeroff.

That reminds me of Lorena Bobbitt, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_and_Lorena_Bobbitt). After all the dust settled her dating prospects were nil. So she emigrated to Eastern Europe. Eventually she settled in Czechoslovakia. To occupy herself she took up hockey.
To her surprise she was very good. So good in fact that she made the Czechoslovakian Olympic hockey team. They had to change her name of course:

Lorena Bobbitt took her liberated prize with her right after she severed it from the source. During her flight away from home, she rolled down her car window and threw it out. It smacked into a windshield of a bus full of nuns.
The nun in the front row turned around and said, "Sister Mary Margaret, did you see the size of the ......... on that bug?"
I was kind of hoping to hear back from Sam today to find out what the mechanic found out. I was thinking it might be fun to tease him a bit if it turned out to be bulbs.
Sam, are you listening?

Gun control laws make about as much sense as taking ex-lax to cure a cough.
Fixed, it was the flasher relay, the thingie that controls the whole flasher - emergency flasher blinking. The unit was $30ish and labor a few bucks more.
One of those things that happens to cars since they removed the mechanical swing arms operated by pulleys and made 'em electrical. While my rear flashers were out (4-5 days) I got tooted at numerous times and the way the ticketing-crazy cops are, I was sure to get a ticket eventually, so getting it fixed was essential.
Lots of folks "shade tree" their repairs, even fairly major stuff. I learned long ago that I tend to only screw up things worse -- my mechancial aptitude is horrible. So the thing I need to do is locate an honest repair shop and stick with them. There's this independent shop just 3 blocks from my house and I have NEVER had to take my car back to them for any repeat work. Their rates are equivalent for other shops and they are quick. That's about the best I can do.
Yeah, sure, I can change signal bulbs but the bulbs were okay. I also do pretty well about filling the gas tank and the windshield washer reservior. That's the extent of my car repair expertise, ha ha.
Now, SirGeorge, this is the sort of help I need! When the rear blinkers went out, I of course washed my license plates and tightened the screws, but that didn't help. NO ONE else in this forum provided such helpful advice as my topping off the blinker fluid! Duh. Next time, I'm on top of it. The blinker fluid reservoir, I think, is that small white-capped reservoir next to the meteor dust filter unit, just behind the heater warm air supply tank, right?
Apparently I'd also forgotten to get the air in my tires changed from winter to summer air, so it's a good thing the shop guys reminded me -- they gave me a package deal, only $25 for all 4 tires!
They also charged me a small fee for recalibrating the frabulator sensor that was making the fraylever stick! No wonder my isolometer wasn't working!
Ya see, when you find a good shop, it's worth going back to them for routine service. Lesser shops might miss these things.
If they didnt greast the knutin pins with a good quality finzel, or blow out the disgronificator, I would have second thoughts.
I had the whole disgronificator replaced a couple months back, as per Rush Limbaugh's recommendations. The finzel rod and 'nuttin pins were included. Only $385!
My '97 Harley copsickle not only has self-canceling turn signals and 4-way hazzard flashers , it also has what's known as a turn signal module , which controls all of the above functions.
I'm betting it's expensive , and probably obsolete.

I dunno about obsolete. My 86 Ninja had the same thing, worked okay too.
Just out of morbid curiosity, what year make and model is your car ? I want to look at the wiring diagram for it in our - on demand - shop manual......
