I just fixed this issue on my urq. I had a front blinker bulb that
was the wrong type that someone jammed in there and one of the little
pins on the bulb base broke off. I was lucky that it was the first
bulb I checked. Went to Advanced Auto and bought the exact bulb that
is spec'd in the owner's manual and all is well.
