    Indicator problem

    Alright so basically my front driver's indicator only works sometimes, the bulb and fuse are good. I tried pushing on the bulb while it was flashing to give it more contact and it worked fine, seems like the prong is worn, do I need a new assembly? Or is there a simple fix to it?

    You need a new assembly. I had the same problem for a while I used a strip of tin foil to wedge the bulb in and push against the metal prong. It worked for a while so long as you didn't touch it or go over a ton of pot holes.

    On a related note, if your blinkers don't work or make good contact the cruise control system will not engage. Weird right?

      Very weird, never even noticed that. Thanks for the help!
