I am guessing you are talking about the turn signal light. A couple of different ways, you can push back the air duct on your front bumper and reach your hand in ther or under the front car is a plastic panel on each side you can take loose and access the turn signals.

Maybe it's just fat fingers? Can't find the right keys cause he's cross-eyed? Maybe has to wear a Pirate eyepatch which makes it tough to hit the right key?

Could be any number of causes.

Well....learn something everyday. I thought that only my rear plinkers were lit. I'll have to check my front plinkers for lights. But at least they still make that "plink" noise every time I turn above 45 mph.

Thanks for letting me know!


To be somewhat less of a S.A. I did the brake vent tube back off method and if you don't have gargantuan hands...it's not bad.

They would have to be really fat fingers.
