2011 mazda 3 gx

hello peoples

well im having an issue with my vehicle when i turning left and pull down my handle so the blinker goes on it flashes for like 3 secs then turns off wtf?
but if i pull down the handle half way it works but if i want my blinker to stay on i keep on have to play with the handle then finaly it stays on with out my holding the handle it seems to only happen in the cold not sure i still have bumper to bumper so does anyone have any damn clue relay or somthing i lost.....

If the signal stalk is not staying on position there is a problem with the stalk itself.

sorry the stalk stays on but the flasher works for like 5 secs


but if i pull the stalk half way down the flasher works fine

Oh. I thought it wasn't staying in the on position.

I know in my older cars there is a relay. I'm unsure about the Mazda and where it would be located.

[Paul17]

yea i understand thx =]

there times where i put the stalk down and it wont even flash

Sounds like your car has been programmed with the Smart turn signal feature. Tap lightly on the stalk and it flashes 3 times for you.

Should be the same for both Left and Right though if indeed this is what is programmed.

If you're still under warranty go have the dealer look at it.
