Ive got a couple of problems that I have tryed my best to remidy but I cant seem to figure it out. Im afraid that I might have a few minor electrical problems that could turn into a fairly expensive fix if I have to take it to be fixed somewhere.
I seem to be having some problems with my turn signals. Sometimes my turn signals will blink at an off pace. SOmetimes it will be like blink........blink...........................blink..blink and someties it will work great. I have noticed that the relay for the turns has to be tied into the emergency flashers like in most cars mostly because the ticking comes from that area?? What is going on I have tryed to replace the emergency button and replace the fuse but this problem puzzles me??? help!! On the easier end of diagnosis I have a rattle coming from the back left area of the hatch when Im on just about any street I have tried to tighten up the hatch cover but I cant figure it out it is driving me crazy???? Help
 
Well, let's see if this dogshit server will let me post THIS time.

Anyway, replace all four turn signal bulbs and make sure all their sockets are corrosion-free. A bit of silicone grease on them is a good idea.

For the rattle, check the hatch struts, loose parts in the spare tire well, a rattling jack, loose speakers if you've replaced yours, and make sure the six Torx fasteners on the sunroof are tight- factory calls for Loc-Tite on them.
 
thanks for the reply i''ll try that tonight. Never thought about the sunroof but come to thuink of it that rattles sometimes too.
thanks for the knowledge!
