perhaps you not getting the amount of current needed to activate the flasher fast enough,or your flasher is located in a place where it gets too cold, you may try changing the flasher or insulating it.'''here's how a flasher works.'''
the flasher contains a bi-metal strip and a heating element. when the heating element warms up the bi-metal strip bends making contact, and allowing current to go thru.as the current goes thru the heating element cools down and breaks the circuit that's how you get the blinking effect.'''(all happens repeadedly in milliseconds)
About 10 seconds after the engine stops running.
depending on how much petrol was in the tank and the length of the pipes it could take between 2 - 20 seconds before the engine stopped working
Yes, when you turn on the ignition the Check Engine light will come on for a few seconds to show you the light is working. It will go out if no problem is detected.
Before replacing the flasher you should check the fuses inside the car and in the engine compartment including fuseable links, then check for voltage in the flasher connector with the switch on, it may be that your switch is the problem. Newer cars use lighting control modules which would be the next place to check.
The emergency signal flasher module can be found below the dashboard, on the drivers side of the engine compartment. The emergency signal flasher module simply plugs in and out.
Turn on the ignition and look at the instruments. You will see the Check Engine Light come on for a few seconds and then go off. If you see the light it is working.
Turn on the ignition and look at the dash. The light will come on and stay on for a few seconds to let you know it is working.
Normally it does not flash. It only flashes when there is a serious problem. It will come steadily on when there is a problem but it is not critical. It will come on for a few seconds when you first start the engine. This is to show you it is working.
the headlight flasher is located under the dash next to the OBD plug in (that plug where they check engine codes) on the drivers side..
The transmission and power steering are usually two different systems. The transmission drives off the back of the engine and the powersteering pump normally drives off a belt on the front of the engine.
In any engine it usually means your piston rings are worn.
