Lost a turn signal and I don't know why... #791576 02/21/07 05:50 AM

Lost my left front turn signal the other day. I figured it was just another bulb so I went to put a new one in and the old one was still fine. Tried the new one just to be sure and still no go. Just the one front corner; the rest still work. The left side does the spastic blinker just like if the bulb were burnt but I can't find anything wrong with the wiring. Is is possible for the little fuse/controller under the dash to only partially go? Any ideas?

Check the connector itself, the little conductors inside. I have seen them corrode to the point they no longer make contact with the bulb. That will look to the flasher like a burnt out bulb and it'll flash faster.

It looked ok but I will check it again just to make sure.

While looking for corrosion (on the ground wire too), check for volts. If none, go back from there.

Body Damage is Cool
turn on your 4 way flashers ... If there working , you can narrow it dowm to either the turn sign. combi switch or the bulb /ground .
