Turn signal

hartman · 10-07-2008, 11:48 AM

My right side turn signal does not work flashers work but the right side flashers isnt as bright. Bulbs are all good.

I'm in the same boat only its my left side that's out. It just stays lit and doesn't blink when I use the signal. I hope its not the case but, I think its in the mulitfunction switch. Anyone else have any suggestions for 2 TA owners?

so its the signal flasher? and where is it to replace it and where can i buy it?

so your left turn signal works fine?-then its not the flasher

it sounds like a bad socket, remove bulb and look at the socket for corrosion or moisture/water.

Does the left turn signal work properly? If it does, then the flasher is not the problem.

yup left turn signal works and the flashers work just the right side isnt as bright.

Check the socket and wiring.

i still dont know what it is. The side that works the short filament flashes but on the other side on short and one tall flash the tall filament isnt as bright. And when the turn signal is on that side just stays on.

im pretty sure the sequential kits replace the signal bulbs and sockets. that might solve the problem and it looks very cool.

im 98 percent sure its either the socket or a wiring issue, throw a new socket in there (costs like five bucks) and then go from there.

It seems mine was a filament issue. I had to take it out of the socket and look very closely at it but it was broken. I will go tomorrow to get another bulb and let you know if that fixed it.

Incidentally, I found my front signal socket to be quite burnt looking so I replace it thinking that was the problem. Just a stroke of luck that I found it while my rears were the problem.

*98TransAm* · 10-09-2008, 10:07 PM

yeah i got mine at autozone as well, whatever you do dont go to the dealership they cost like 45 bucks there.

Alex41 · 10-10-2008, 12:00 AM

To let you guys know, the bulb did fix it. Thanks for the info, I would have been scratching my head on that one for a while.

hartman · 10-13-2008, 07:36 PM

take your socket and go to autozone and get one, they have them in the bulb isle for under 10 bucks. dont have them look it up, they will probably order the $70 dollar one.
