Mel87 Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 So out of the blue my left turn signal stops working. First thing I checked was all the bulbs. all bulb are lit. When I turn on the turn signal the parking light bulb goes out, but the turn signal light doesn't get any brighter. When I have my headlights on to illuminate the dash the left turn signal arrow is real dim lit up all the time even when I don't have the turn signal on. When I turn it on it lights up on the dash but won't blink. The parking light bulb seems a lot more dim than all the other ones so I figured I would replace the bulb anyways... Didn't solve the issue. It's not the bulb, it's not the flasher... because the right side works fine (doesn't blink faster than should) so what would that leave, a bad ground?

WhatTheFehl Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Possibly a bad turn signal switch. Mine did all sorts of weird stuff when it went, both times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel87 Posted December 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Is that located in the steering column? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

94 olds vert Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 That isn't mine, but I have used it before. I found it very helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutlassdude96 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 is the bulb seated all the way in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vyper144 Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 I've had that happen with my aftermarket heads (shown below). The connectors are cheap as hell and one of the wires and pins came out of the connector. It caused the dim light on the dash but also created a hyperflashing problem because the car thought the bulb was out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel87 Posted December 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Well I didn't try this before but I turned on the hazard lights and everything flashes BUT the driver turn signal. I even checked that bulb too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
