Edit: how the hell do you get that switch out?

watch for leaks when switching to synthetic.....this could be your problem lol. you've lost out on blinks cuz you lost the fluid. try a quart of Lucus Blinker additive...works great.




mine was a ground at the very rear. when following the harness from the drivers side tail light, i came to a connector, and the ground wire had broken off right where it enters the clip, so i by-passed it, re- wired and all is well.
