One hour into nearly every car journey, driver side turn indicator failed (no indication or noise on dash). On stopping and checking, OTHER 2 indicator lights on the driver side working (but flashing faster than normal). Checking headlights, Driver headlight also out. Continue journey without that set of lights. Next morning, next journey, indicators work correctly either immediately or after about 10 minutes driving.
Took to Tesla, said nothing found (out of warranty, in 5th year, but they charged zero for the check, that included various resets.)
Next day, all was well, day after the problem repeated.
Suddenly I had a brain realization ... the hour into the journey when i got a failure was always at, or just past, a gas station/store that I frequently (but not always) stopped at.
Checked this out, and every time i turned into this store my indicator worked, and when i left the store the indicator either immediately did not work (i.e. before i even put in drive) or within 2 mins of driving away.
I did tests over the next 2 days, driving past the store without stopping, no problems. Parking the other side of the street from the store no problems. Parked once more in a normal space outside the store window: indicator failure.
I asked in the store if they had any special electrics, their own generator, heat inverters, geo thermal etc, but they said nothing but grid electricity. Hmmm. I nosed around, did not see anything special apart from a plethora of security lights and cameras on poles.
OK, i don't go to that store anymore and problem has not repeated.
Just wondered if anyone else experienced this?
