Blinkers not working after car sitting overnight
Vehicle pulls while driving
There are two issues.
Turn signal works ok,but problem starts after vehicle sits overnight.So its intermittent problem.Also while driving it feels like vehicle pulls.
The turn signal working intermittently could be the related to faulty multifunction switch or it could be the flasher.
Most issues on these are caused by the flasher. The easiest thing to do would be to tap on the flasher when it acts up and see if the turn signals come back, if they do then you know for sure it's a flasher problem.
It sounds like the engine is cranking slowly after it sits overnight or after it sits for few days days before you start driving.
I suggest start by having the battery load tested and replace it if necessary. If it's found to be ok then a parasitic load test will need to be done to see if there is a draw, and then narrow it down from there by removing fuses one at time.
And regarding other issue ..........
Vehicle pulls while driving has few possibilities:
If it's pulling while driving it could be a bad tire, low tire, loose or binding component in the front end or an alignment issue. If you have a brake caliper dragging that will cause a pull also.
Dragging brakes?
http://howtobyme.blogspot.in/2012/03/dragging-brakes.htmlIf the tires have been ruled out for sure and the brakes are ok then the steering and suspension will need to be inspected, an alignment performed if nothing is found.
Each and everything is not faulty,but everything is possible.
So exactly tracing the fault will take some time.Get the mentioned possibility inspected properly before you rule out faulty part.
This will help.
Thanks.
