Right Blinker kills car

Well this is a new one. My civic has a short in it somewhere so when I flip the right blinker on it kills the motor. it almost sounds like it is running out of fuel. Dont worry it has a full tank in it. If you have any tips or hints let me know thanks

At least pull both right turn signal bulbs and see if it goes away.

If not, yeah, that's f'd.

Try your hazards to eliminate the wiring path.

Re: Right Blinker kills car

Well i have figured out that the right blinker/flasher cut the power to my fuel pump. So i followed the wires back into the main relay, or also known as the fuel injection relay. I guess i am going to chance it and buy a new one.
