Barry,

Sounds about right.  Not to sound chauvenistic, but think of your new 
purchase as a somewhat young and headstrong nubile woman, who will 
frequently do whatever she damn well pleases without rhyme or reason, and 
who will sometimes even publicly embarass and humiliate you by stalling at 
an intersection and then failing to start.  Don't worry, you'll get used to 
it.

however the turn signal problem is more perplexing. [snip]

Again, see above.  The female brain is one of the great mysteries of life.

and if
so where are they located?  Is there anything else I should check?[snip]

She could be seeing another owner on the side.  OTOH, you might try flowers 
and a sappy card.  Plus spring for a night out on the town at a fancy 
restaurant, it always works for me.  Cheers.
