I would check the fuse to make sure it had not blown.

You will need to check a repair manual (physical copy or online) to find the location of the flasher in your vehicle. Mine is under the dashboard on the driver side.

Hello,

Here is the location of the flasher module and the blinker wiring diagrams to help you see how the system works. Here is a guide to help you check to see if you are losing power somewhere:

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Cheers, Ken

Hey ken, was taking car for ride and car not shifting onto high and most of lights go on on dash. Could this be a BCM or computer problem? What do you think?

Hmm, maybe it is related. It can be the BCM causing the is issue. Lets remove the BCM electrical connectors to check for corrosion. Sometimes just removing and replacing the connector helps solve the problem. Here is the location.

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.

Not sure what you meant after stating you have no way to check out your BCM, could you repeat it please? I have been following this adventure to learn from. I was just out on LI in July, visiting family. Was warm then as well.
