Turn Signals not working
I just had the rear section on my coupe repainted, the painter had to removed the tail lights to paint everthing, he did an excellent job, but now my turn signals are not working. The two lights on the inside work but the outside ones are not. Do you guys know if there is a ground wire back there or something that could have been left disconnected. I checked the the fuse that says tail, but it is not blown. I have had these lights out before the reason I had this section repainted was because I removed a rear wing that the previous owner had intalled. This is a 95 so you have to access the lights by removing the tag, the lights will not come out by taking off the lenses like the 84-89 models. Thanks for any help on this problem. Hank

84-89 rear lamps you have to go through the license plate cutout too! This problem really belongs to the painter who probably did not reconnect the ground wires from the outside lamps. I don't know about the 95, but on 84-89, the outside rear lamps are accessable from under the car. Reach up and turn the lamp socket CCW and pull it out. Check the lamps with an ohmeter. If ok, then I would tell the painter that the lamps are ok and he must have not connected a ground wire and would he kindly fix his mistake.

Re: Turn Signals not working (HFRAZ)
Thanks for the information guys somehow the bulbs on the outside lights were not making contact, after my mechanic messed with everthing for awhile he figured it out didn't even charge me anything. Hank
