Electrical Gremlin: Door lock and RH blinker

[JThiessen]

About two weeks ago I started having two periodic issues:

1: Every now and then, when I get out of my truck and press the keyless lock button, I hear a low level beep tone that seems to be coming from inside the door. Its too short for me to track it so far - and after I hear it, I cant get it to occur again.



2: Also periodically, my RH turn signal wont work. I engage it, and it stays in the "locked" position, but the blinker isnt working. This also is sporadic and I havent been able to replicate it on demand yet.



ANy one have any similar issues yet?



BTW: pushing 48K on mine, mileage is actually getting worse (running@15. 5 hand calc'd). Limited slip is now horrible after changing over to Amsoil (shudders around EVERY corner if I have any throttle on it).

Mine make exactly the same noise almost every single time I lock the doors. I finally decided it's just a slight "squeek" in the door lock mechanism that sounds a lot like a "beep". I don't believe it's a problem at all. If it bothers you, try greasing the mechanism. I kind of like it, actually.



Can't help you with the blinker... sounds like a gremlin to me.

I am having similar problems with my blinkers. Mostly just the left but also the right sometimes. Some say it is the blinker lever itself.

re. , Blinker: Yes, I'm thinking that its in the lever or mechanism itself also since I can disengage it, and redo it to get it to work.
