    I have a 2011 Tacoma. My front turn signals have been acting up. Sometimes they work sometimes they don't. I replaced the bulbs thinking the bulbs were just burned out. But it keeps happening. They will be on one time and off the other.
    Any idea what is going on?

    You're low on blinker fluid.... :) j/k

    I'd check the relay and then the turn signal stalk - but a 2011 shouldn't have these problems.

    Yea it's weird. If I go and take the bulb out and then out it back in it starts working again. Works for awhile and then it will quit. The front daytime running lights will be off and tr blinker sound inside the cab will be high paced.

    No I'm not just the standard. I'm thinking about switching to LEDs maybe in the future.

    Yea I'm still under warranty.

    Do you think it's possible they are getting too hot or something.

    Don't know - just figured let the dealer fix it.

    I usually think a bad ground for intermittent problems like that.
