Blinker Failure

[Pigpen]

I had those side blinkers installed at Cartronics. On the way home, the left turn signal did the super fast blinking. I thought, “Oh great! Cartronics either sent a surge down the line an blew a bulb, or just plain messed up the wiring on the left side. But the next day, all was well. Driven it several times since, still normal. On a side note, the dealer installed my console vault backwards, with the lid hinge towards the front. Going to call tomorrow for a re-do.

The hinge is supposed to be forward according to the sight.

I installed mine myself; it won't fit if you turn it around.

Well, they certainly found a way to do it wrong. The hinge is towards the front of the car. It would take a contortionist to access the combo while sitting in the seat. The dealer told me that it was installed correctly, I.E., with the hinge towards the front of the car. I called customer service and got a case #. They talked to a tech guy and yes, the hinge is supposed to be to the back. I told them I’d like to register a strike against the dealer, and that they should call the dealer and light a fire under their collective ass, since I didn’t want to sit around for hours while the fixed their screwup. The dealer in addition told me that it was installed at the factory, and not by the dealer. Pretty sure that’s b.s.

Is your hinge towards the front or rear?

The hinge is forward. Look at the shape of the frame; it won't fit in the console I'd you turn it around.

Yeah, I see what you mean. Ford has just used a stock photo from some other vehicle on the build and price page for the bronco sport. But you can see the g.o.a.t. section knob in the photo. Maybe it’s just a computer generated image. At any rate, it’s useless to me if the hinge is at the front. I’m partially disabled, there’s no way I can use this with the hinge to the front. I’m just going to plead false advertising and get my money back on the safe.
