Is it possible that the starter is the culprit of the engine cutting out and back in again??????? It seems to be the problem with the blinker.
Is this even possible?
blinker issues and running issues are usually associated with a bad earth , and a poor working set of relays , ie load shed relay , fuel relay , and blinkers playing up is just a clue to a bad earth through the starter motor for the load shed relay etc
I recon go through the fuse carriers clean them up ,locate a couple of standard relays , and work out the logic of the load shed relay ...and get one from a wreckers after you have figured out the type that will work for that location ..they are not all the same
replace the earth cable completely from battery to frame and service - clean the starter brushes ...not hard to do ...and worth every cent of the time spent
good luck marc
