    Hey all,
    Anyone have this problem. It's 2017 with 8600 miles. Turn signals dont work when it's cold 30 degrees or so. Once the truck warms up they work just fine. The light bulbs work as they light up when the truck starts just no signals or flashers for 5 to 10 minutes depending on how much heat I pump in the truck. Flasher relay??

    Take it back to the dealer since it’s warrantied. Something isn’t communicating right when it should.

    Hmmm. Had truck warming up recently before going hunting (dark and cold as hell) and my buddy swore one headlight was not on.

    I thought blinker fluid first too. Checked it and it's fine. I have my 10000 mile coming up I'll have the dealership handle it. Only problem is it'll work when I get there it only does this when it's cold and it'll have to sit all night to so it again. Oh well.

    My quess is the blinker fluid gets frozen in the line to the cab.
    Then the heat from the engine thaws it out.

    Replace with some fluid rated to -20* ....... done
    :rofl:
