We bought a 1981 Toyota Huntsman mini (72K) about a year and a half ago for $2700. I LOVE IT!!! I take my grandsons on trips and camping. I love the ease of handling and getting around in traffic and parking, AND THE GREAT GAS MILEAGE! While on our way home a couple of months ago, I was pulled over in Nevada just at dusk. The officer said that his concern was that on a 75 mph speed highway, my speed of about 55 - 60 on the uphills put me in danger of getting rearended by someone not paying attention. Just prior to getting stopped, I had decided to put on my emergency/hazzard flashers for this very same reason. The in-cab indicator was showing them as not operating. I was hoping that it was wrong, but alas, evidently not. I had noticed a couple of times in the recent past that the blinkers sometimes would not work immediately and had to be turned off and on a couple of times to work. Now they are just plain dead. My husband tried to replace the gizmo (I think it was a relay switch) under the dash, but that did not work. Any ideas out there? I really love to use it but am a little leary of driving without blinkers. I absolutely don't need an accident or any road rage episodes aimed at me, especially with the kids along! Thanks for any input!
