Unanswered: Blinker Problem?
Hello everyone,
I have a very strange problem with my blinkers. When I turn my blinker on, on the right side of the car, the light flashes once inside the car and then quits, however on the back of the car the blinker blinks fine and on the front it doesn't work at all When I turn my blinker on,on the left side, the light doesn't light up at all, and on the back of the car it works fine, and on the front it doesn't work either. Anybody have any suggestions as to what I can try next? Thanks |

Start with checking and replacing the light bulbs in the front.

Stephen, if the front lights flash once, then the bulbs are o.k. The sockets may need to be cleaned and/or the grounds need to be checked. Seen this problem more than once.

Ron, re-read, he said the front lights don't work at all, and the indicator light inside flashed just once. The single flash on the indicator is usually a result of a burnt out or not connected bulb and a flasher module not having enough load.

bulbs are fine...
when i turn the switch on for all the lights to come on,,,, the front light go on, but yet the blinker doesnt't work.
today i started pushing all different wires underneath the fuse box and hope for a bad connection or something... and now, when i put the blinker on, on the left side inside the car it flashes once and then both start flashing not very bright. (the same thing happens for the right side) |
