Yet Another Problem: Turn Signals



This ONLY happens when the parking lights or headlights are on. The right side blinker light will just stay on (not blinking just stay completely on) and I cant use my turn signals or anything.. Everything is fine with my lights off.

Seems like a ground issue. Have you replaced the bulb recently? Could also be some corrosion in the plug.

Check your grounds. Do you have a Cold air intake installed?

to fix my prior issue, my front left led bulb was shorted so I temporarily replaced it with a halogen bulb and removed the load resistor. This is what happens I guess when you have one side halogen and leave the other side with the led bulb. So i just put halogen bulbs in untill my new LED bulbs come in. Very strange though that it would cause that to happen.


Something else very interesting as a side note: When I was messing around with it to figure it all out, I put a halogen bulb in the passenger side (with the load resistor still wired up) and the GOOD LED bulb into the drivers side (where the bad LED originally was) and this is after i took the load resistor off the drivers side, and when I went to try my turn signals, the drivers side (with no load resistor) did not hyper flash AND my sidemarker blinked with the turn signal. (AWESOME) This only happened though when I had a halogen bulb on the other side with a load resistor so it would really make no sense to actually do. just found it very interesting that it had an effect on the side marker..which means it had to of been affected through ground or something.


But thats it... case closed.
