    Hey folks,

    I just noticed something "odd" this morning to work. I had my blinkers on this morning and could see from the reflection in the car in front of me that my side mirror blinkers were not on. After I parked the truck at work, I turned on the hazard and it worked... then I turned on my blinkers... and it worked?! Am I going nuts here? Are these blinkers supposed to work or not? :eek:

    Yes, they are supposed to work at all times. Try it again with a taller vehicle beside you.

    I believe the side mirror blinkers are directed to the side that it's blinking. Look at your truck in profile and you'll see that the blinker is pointed at vehicles to the left and right of you and not really for on coming traffic.
