Thanks- took a good look in good light at my blinker bulb housing (the part that comes out of the housing front) and noticed that the one on the right is missing one of the metal ears. Looks like the part that others are talking about soldering. Must have broken with all the fooling around I have been doing, cause it worked for a day...
I think I will call this progress, tho now I have twisted my back. These cars should come with chiropractic service!
