Blinker fluid for right front blinker

Sounds like I need to top it off, the inside blinker is clicking faster on the right than the left and the front right blinker isn't flashing at all.

 

sounds like you need a fluid flush

 

Probably time to put winter air in your tires as well.

 

Did your dad put in 30W10 blinker fluid to save money instead of synthetic blinker fluid as specified in the owner's manual? Maybe that's why the front right blinker crapped out.

 

This is a typical symptom of a red mechanic's rag being left in one of your tires. I wouldn't worry about it unless you plan to drive more than a couple of miles at a time.

 

This! Absolutely this. I waited too long to swap in my winter air. At Christmas, the radio played nothing but Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville. Definitely not festive at all. My children cried in the back seat and my wife divorced me. Christmas was ruined. I made sure to swap in winter air right after Thanksgiving this year. My new wife, her husband and her 7 kids are much happier that I did that. Saving Christmas.

Forget winter "air", best to use helium. Makes the truck lighter and therefore improves mpg. Regarding the blinker fluid - make sure to use Toyota brand TBF1 as all other blinker fluids are inferior and will cause irreparable damage to the electrical system.

 

Sounds like you got it figured out

 

but where does it go? just open the light?

 

Probably needs a short throw blinker switch

 

I'll bet Hewitt makes a bypass kit

 

OP owes his dad new truck...

 

This one had me

 

When you really need to get your blinkers off be sure to use multi grade BlinkOff blinker fluid, guaranteed to get you off.
As far as tire air I prefer all season air. Use a good tire air filter to filter out the impurities and then change the air every 10,000 miles.
I just blinked up and aired up my truck so I’m good to go this winter.

 

Are there different part numbers for left and right blinker fluid? Asking for a friend.

 

I don’t know man, If you do that now, you’re gonna have to swap the 2022 air in your tires with 2023 air in a few weeks. I’d just wait and do it all at once, otherwise you’ll be driving around on year old air…..don’t play with your life like that!

 

You have to drill a hole in the blinker lens to pour the fluid into. Use a 1/2" drill and drill 2 holes in the top of each lens. Pour in the fluid to the top of the lens until it starts to seep out the second hole. This also will enable the blinker to breathe.

 

Can’t believe nobody is servicing their muffler bearings…. Something all of you should be doing during corrosion season.

 

For the, "It'S iN thE OwNeRs MAnuAl" folks when is the recommended mileage to change our blinker fluid?

 

^5000 miles for 2nd gens. 10,000 miles for 3rd gens with Tech Pkg, since the sequential LED blinkers require synthetic blinker fluid.

My dealer tells me the side mirror blinkers use "lifetime" fluid. Are they right?
