Have you checked the blinker fluid? Could be it.

Wait, what color is the Blinker Fluid supposed to be? I think someone put the wrong kind in my car, it is a blueish hue...

But honestly, I wouln't think much of it since it happens on such a random basis..

Thanks for the reply.

Since it seems to affect all 370Zs, not just those that pulled the SLU fuse, I'm not really worried about it, just a gnawing curiosity. I'm not losing any sleep over it, but would like to know why it happens.

In all honesty, I think it is something to do with some kind of software reset, maybe the ECU purges some cache or something; that seems like the most logical thing I can think of.

Sounds like one of the better theories to me. My personal favorite is that the system is doing an extra self-test (but that doesn't explain why it only happens some of the time).

A few ppl have reported that the driver door being open for a long time may trip the delay, but I haven't been able to reproduce it.

Maybe someone will come up with the answer, but I'm not holding my breath.
