Shoddy Blinkers

So after driving my car around for a couple of weekends the directional signals in my 240z had stopped working properly. It seemed like it would blink whenever it damn well felt like it.

I would hit the blinker switch, and no matter what direction I turned it in it would wait as long as it wants and then blink once or twice, then nothing... maybe.

This past Saturday when i brought my car up to the ZCCNE Charity Tech inspection at A&C Imports in Bedford, New Hampshire, John (The President of the ZCCNE) took a look.
He seem quite confidant that it would be an easy fix, which was great because I was sure it was a major electrical problem. Of course I start analyzing my electrical system first and using common sense last.

After my inspection, John came out to my car with a giant bag of relays, pulled out my blinker relay and swapped in a new one and PRESTO, she worked like new. It turns out that my turn signal relay was full of water! God knows how, but this was definitely the culprit.

After a quick look at the windshield seal area of my car it became clear that the seals were on their last legs... Add it to the list baby!
