lights not working right
Whats wrong here? My left turn signal does not blink, just lights up solid, right side works. If I turn on my running lights, my left side turn signal indicator lights up and is solid. What's wrong here, how do I fix it? TIA. :confused:

Re: lights not working right (Jsailor24)
sounds like you have a burned out bulb on the left side. If a bulb is out the circuit wont draw enough amperage to trip the blinker and the light stays on. Could be a bad flasher too but it would happen both directions then.

Re: lights not working right (xzvs)
XZVS sounds about right. Just change the bulbs, and don't forget to lube the contacts points with dielectric grease. I used to reach up from the bottom, but ever since I've gotten the Borlas, it's been f'ing tough. Now, I take the time to open up the license plate, take out the backup light assemblies, reach in with a small ratchet to detach the brake light lens and voila! Take the time to clean up the sockets and I guarantee you won't need to do this often. Good luck. :cheers:
