  • my taillight is retarded, please help...

    Well I notice that my right turn signal stays solid on my dash board. If I walk to the back of the car and smack the lense, my blinker works. I am curious as to what is causing this and how can I go about fixing it? I have spare bulbs and what not so that isn't a problem (if that is the problem)

    Please let me know,
    Chris

    When the filament burns out, the dash light will stay solid. That's your tip that you have a bulb out.

    The reason it works when you smack it, the filament is still there and dangling, and it temporarily reconnects when you jar it. Later it comes loose again.

    Put a new bulb in, and the problem should go away. (unless the socket is bad/corroded).
