ok so burnt fuse was replaced. now i got ANOTHER problem. so for our 2g tl's we have 2 clicks on the light switch bar, on the left hand side, behind the steering wheel. The first click turns on the turn signal bulbs, the parking bulbs, and the rear brake bulbs. HOWEVER, right now, when I put mine to the first click, the turn signals stay on and I can't give a turn signal for left or right because it just stays on. For the same reason, when I push the emergency light (triangle button) nothing will happen because the turn signals in the front and rear are all already on, and stays on. This is the same as when I turn on my drl's (hid's) on the second click. When all my lights are off however, I CAN give the turn signal for both left and right, but every time the turn signals blink, the square part of the dash, where it shows how many miles you have on your car so far and the door open/close diagram of the car, dims and brightens. When I turn on the emergency parking lights (triangle button) it also works, but when I open the door it makes the door opened sound every time they blink, and also dims and brightens the little square part on the dash. Here is picture of when the light switch is on the first click. Notice how the green arrows are lit. It stays like that constantly.

turn signal flasher?
keep looking for other damaged wires is what needs a do'in~

ok, since the damage was most likely done by short circuiting, where are the possible damages that i could look for? because i'm gona take it to the mechanic, but i don't want them to charge me up the butt for labor when it takes them 3 hours to just find out where the problem is. thank you 01tl4tl! you seem to know electronics/wiring very well with cars

I dont know sheet about electrical beyond basic troubleshooting--where is there power and where does it stop

dont use a regular repair shop- they know about as much as I do,, and hate these type jobs...
(as the tech) uggggh customer effed up car installing some bs aftermarket lights,,
what did I do to deserve this job boss???,,whatever it was, I m sorry!!!!

use a real auto electrical shop- see phone book and internet for one
always some old guy with eons of experience in tracking stuff down

My bet is there is a short in the turn signal stalk. The easiest way is to buy a replacement but if it's not that, they might not let you return it. Not sure if you can crack open yours to test it.

Part #10 (top left) Will run you about $80 at the dealer.
I'm sure you could find one on Ebay or a junkyard.

Ok, so I just took apart my front end, and took out the resistors for my led switchbacks. The problem is gone! However, when I try to reinstall the resistors, the problem comes back. I think the resistors were burnt out when I shorted the circuit. checked behind the steering wheel at the autoshop, and all of the circuits/wires there were working well. I'll just have to deal with the ricer/hyper blinking, but don't mind too much. Thanks again guys.

Did you check the resistors? Are they still the correct value? Need ohm meter.

kp4lyfx

I have the 3 ohm resistors. Didn't check the value or whatever it's called. But, it's ok for now, and when the hyper blinking does start to annoy me, I'll maybe just get a new set of resistors.

01tl4tl

get the right resistors in before you get a ticket

fast blink rate is meant to indicate a burnt out bulb- to warn the driver

cops see that and figure you have a tail light out,,reason to stop you--
then want a closer look, questions about how low it is,,start measuring headlight height,,,are these lights legal...

Seems you left out this tiny bit of information (and yes the red is sarcasm).
