I found a solution for my turn signal dash indicator issue. The indicators stopped working. I read everything on this form. Never saw a reference to this solution. This worked instantly for me. I removed all my EXTERIOR brake and turn signal LEDs (1157 and 1156) and put in conventional bulbs. This allows the current sensing relay to work and therefore power the blue wire of the turn signal relay. Which in turn powers your green dash indicators. I’ve done a lot of electrical work to this car over winter. Since then the interior dash indicators have not worked. It could’ve been many different things but I have not seen the root cause being converting EXTERIOR turn signal lights to LED. I did leave one conventional bulb and that wasn’t enough. By taking out all the LED bulbs for the brakes turn signals everything is working again!
Ironically, I converted my now working green dash light indicators to LED over the winter. They are much brighter than conventional. Covert all you dash lamps to LED- it is a game changer!
Hope this helps someone!

This doesn’t always work, but it’s a good start.
If you want to use LEDs, but still want inside indicators, follow my fix here:

If you don't need the bulb-out warning system,
you can KEEP all your led bulbs AND restore the inner indicator lights,
with a solution that resembles this:

Can't you just install a replacement flasher relay that is designed for the lower load? That is what I did. I'll admit I have not paid attention to the bulb out indicator though.
