This is a design feature. It let's you know quite handily that there is no blinking going on. I have another problem that has vexed me for a while now though. My blinkers inside cease blinking after a short period. The exterior blinker continues to blink. If i pull out the emergency blinker switch then turn it off again the interior lights blink for a short period then quit again.
