M40 problems
I am having an issue with my blinkers. they all go on at the same time regardless of which direction I input. someone said that most likely my blinkers weren't grounding properly. I tested this by grounding out both the front blinkers with no results. I have yet to test the rears but I don't even see how a bad ground could even show itself in a symptom like that. Is it possibly the metal cylinder on the back of the warning flashers that clicks when I turn on the blinkers? There was an extra blinker clicker lying in the trunk of my car when I got it that I put in to test and all it did was turn on the blinker light on the instrument panel. Also it this the part that I would need to replace?

The picture doesn't show me the bottom of the unit so I can only see two prongs but the unit I have has three prongs.
If you are confused by the title of the tread not lining up with the first bit of conversation, please just go down a bit and it should hopefully make sense.
