  • Turn Signal

    My turn signal is really messed up.
    At first, the left turn signal wasnt working, the front one didnt come on at all and the back one just stayed on(didnt blink).
    So, I replaced the both font left and right turn ginal light with LED bulbs hoping that will fix the problem. Then, both blinker stopped working. They both just stayed on and didnt blink at all.(both front and back) But the weird thing is that they all blink when I turn the hazard light on.

    So, what should I do next? Should I try replacing the blinker relay?

    no theres more than one bulb for each, u probly didnt change the right one. took me a second to fix the bulbs when they went out on me. Just do guess and check like 3 times if u cant see which one is out ( which u should be able to tell if the hazards go on.

      Chrono, you should try replacing the bulbs with the normal bulb the car calls for ( I believe its an 1157) not positive have the parts store look it up for you. You probably had a bad bulb and the leds wont work as blinkers so when you replaced both of them with the leds now they both dont work. BTW theres also little 194's in the parking light assembly for the parking lights themselves you should replace them while youre in there.

      Later,

        Most of the time, there's a certain way they're supposed to sit in the socket too. I figured this out the hard way. One way you activate the dimmer filament (parking lights) and another way you activate the brighter filament (blinker). You have to get it in the socket in the right position (there's only 2 ways to put 'em in, if I'm not mistaken) for 'em to work right. On top of that, mine weren't seated in the socket very good, so they'd bounce around and sometimes work, sometimes not. You gotta' mash those lil' S.O.B.'s down in there.
