I own a 1994 Civic.
When the car is on for 15 minutes or so..the blinkers (signal sights) stop
working and the 4 way flashers stop working.

They work fine when the car is first started....but after 15 minutes...dead.
If I shut off the car for 20 minutes...they will work again.

I changed the flasher relay thingey...still does it.

Please help me....Kathy.

I'd be looking for something affected by heat, esp under the hood.

 

Been there...looked at that.
Got any Ideas?

check the grounds. Perhaps one of the underhood relays is bad.
