Euro/clear tail light problem
I did the conversion to Euro lights about 5 years ago. My problem is I was returning from Park City Utah this morning and my right rear turn signals quit working. They don't work in flasher mode either. I switched bulbs, no help. I checked for power and there doesn't seem to be any.
The left sides work normal. I put an ohm meter on the socket and get a flash indication on the meter but no voltages. If the car is playing stump the dummy, its winning. Any help would be apreciated.

How about where you plugged in the euro harness. It's by the right rear tire, could it be loose or dirty contacts? Just a shot in the dark, but I'd try cleaning the contacts and while there look to see if there's a broken or pulled out wire. Bill

I'm betting a wire or two might have been damaged. When I installed mine i felt the connection wasn't in the most secure spot. Or... corrosion. Has the car ever seen salt (winter)?
Once you find out please update the thread in the future.

I have checked all the connections and the front turn signal works all though it flashes fast like a bad bulb in back. I cant remember the hook up since it was a long time ago. I just dont know how the left side works and the right is'nt. I think the power comes to the right first.
Thanks for the inputs.

Sorry I haven't had a chance to look at the post been at work since 0500 this morning. The flashers work for the both fronts and left rear. I thoght about the flasher unit but why would the right front work and not the right rear. I will check the connections again. With the power coming in on the right side to me if there was a problem the left rear wouldn't work but I'll try anything. I can't drive the car as is. Thanks again for the inputs. any more ideas are very welcome. i want to drive before the weather gets to bad.

P.S the brake lights work and if I hook the green wires back together the flasher lights on the right will light with the brake lights.

I smell a bad flasher. It's located behind the hazard lights switch in the center dash. I've heard it can be reached by removing the radio but you' have to know what you're reaching for.

I'm begining to think its a flasher unit also. Hopefully I can find instructions on replacement. I have changed all my interior panels carbon fiber so I know how to get to the radio. thanks
