Weird turn signal problem in 89 CRX

[Marc-OS]

Recently I've been noticing that when I first start driving the car, meaning the engine is still cold, when i try and use the turn signals, they won't turn on, but the lever will stay down until i finish making the turn. Later though, after the car has warmed up they eventually start working again (This happens with both left and right turn signals). Got any advice?

Try checking your fuse? Cause thats what happen with my dad's Lincoln and he changed the fuse.

hmm...you know....I'm thinking of something here...tell me, do your lights run dim at all at first? do you notice the dash lights dim and then brighten when accelerating?

No, no dimming at all.

go to a wreckers and get a second hand repeator box. The unit that alternates the flashing. I had a similar issue in a 1G - either it would stay off or it would come on and not flash. Just a thought.
