My blinkers work, but they do not stay blinking. If i press my left or right turning signal it will show for a second and it will just go away, it wont stay blinking. I would like to know what i have to do to fix that?

Hello, MARCOSLAFFITTE

It looks like it could be a fuse or a the SAM module which controls the lighting. Please check all of the fuses.

Its could be the turn signal switch itself as well, here is a video and how to change yours. I just did one on my wifes car.
