  • Right turn signal just stays on, so does the taillight...

    Like it said, my right turn signal just stays on when I turn it on to make a turn, It doesnt blink. My tailight also just stays on. I checked my hazard switch, with it both signals and lights blink properly. Anyone know why its doing this and how to fix it? I really would like to get it fixed asap.

    Thanks in advance

    In my experience, that happens when you have a bad bulb. Replace them on that side, one at a time, until it works. After you've done that, then look at the flasher module if it still isn't working.

      Probably a blown bulb in the front right turn signal... They tend to go out easy as they're the first to get wet...

        Definately a bad bulb. Just as a precaution, I replace ALL turnsignal bulbs once I have everything torn apart. Saves agrivation later on...

          if the bulb doesnt fix it, it is probably a weak ground at the socket

            I actually like it better when my turn signal doesnt blink. It just stays brightened up. [img]graemlins/rock.gif[/img]

                Just so you don't try and change the bulb from abve- under the car there's a door cut into the plastic. Just remobe the screws, and you can reach the bulb housing from there

                  If you can change all the bulbs at once, when I first got my car it did the same thing, I changed one bulb then the other side went out, then changed that one and one in my taillight went out. So to save you the trouble id just go ahead and replace all at once.

                      happens every time I blow a fog light or a running light, replace it and it's all good.
