    Have you changed anything recently. If not you might have a short. Start by checking any old splices and the steering colum wiring harness.

    Blinker lights

    Look for a bad ground wire, if a light looses a ground it will get a ground from a hot wire of another light.

    Blinker Issues

    What HE said ! .

    99 % of the time when one light stops working because you operate another , the problem is poor grounding .

    I have a dedicated battery post brush I use only for socket cleaning , it works a treat .
