No turn signal

ByPopularDemand · May 5th, 2007, 01:52 AM

OK I have both front and rear left signals and only the rear right signal. The bulb would light up but not flash so I replaced it, still didnt blink, I also checked the fuse which was good and nothing. What am I missing here?

TurboLX · May 5th, 2007, 01:54 AM

this happened to my fox bod, its caused by another signal or light thats running hotter so its not supplying the power to make it blink, i just replaced all the bulbs

ByPopularDemand · May 5th, 2007, 01:59 AM

Well it was happening with the stock bulbs at first...now I have silverstars and new corner lighs too...so replacing the bulbs is out i think

TurboLX · May 5th, 2007, 12:42 PM

well eiher way its a hot wire thats causing it somewere

ByPopularDemand · May 6th, 2007, 07:49 PM

Any idea where to look...

itschristorres8 · May 6th, 2007, 09:10 PM

dont replace all your bulbs.
some where and some how the wiring is misconnected or bad

ByPopularDemand · May 6th, 2007, 09:28 PM

weel bulbs are already done...where should I start looking for bad wiring

itschristorres8 · May 6th, 2007, 09:32 PM

idk, it actually might be the socket, but it wouldnt light up...never mind, to lazy to backspace.
its gotta be a wiring or fuse.

i can ask somone at my work tomorrow that knows a lot about lighting

ByPopularDemand · May 6th, 2007, 09:33 PM

THe fuse ws good too...

JASonic · May 6th, 2007, 10:35 PM

this is nuts because this happened to me once but not in my mustang. I had the tail light illuminate but NOT blink. I figured it was the bulb so I went and bought a new one and the same thing happened again.

This is what was so stupid. The bulb I bought was bad too! Apparently there are TWO filiments in the bulb. By stupid ass chance, the new bulb had one of the filiments blown.

The third bulb did the trick becuase I checked it before I left autozone.
I dont know if mustangs use that kind of bulb but it might be worth checking just to eliminate the possibility...

Mustang RacR94 · May 6th, 2007, 11:14 PM

could just be the flasher, it cost like 6 bucks at autozone, and is located by your pedals unerneath by all that jazz, is a roundish, thing and is usally silver, turn signal wires hardly go bad that quick

ByPopularDemand · May 7th, 2007, 12:09 AM

I did check the bulb both filliments are good...both the old bulbs were too...Is the flasher in there with the rest of the panels or is it seperate

Mustang RacR94 · May 7th, 2007, 11:03 AM

I dont beleive its with the rest of the fuses, its around that area thu, at least it was in all my other cars

Juggalo_X · May 7th, 2007, 11:10 AM

bad flasher i had a tempo that did this. replace the flasher module.

Midnight Stang02 · May 7th, 2007, 12:39 PM

just to save a headache might as well just change all the bulbs

not that expensive

ByPopularDemand · May 7th, 2007, 03:39 PM

Ill check the flasher...how do I tell if its bad

when you turn your signal on look in the fuse panel, you should hear click click click thats the flasher relay cycling if you dont hear it then the flasher is bad or you have a hot wire. this is usually caused by a burn out bulb. but you say both bulbs illuminate but dont flash so im betting the flasher is the culprit.

ByPopularDemand · May 7th, 2007, 03:44 PM

Yeah ia lights up but the front right doesnt flash, the rest do

pull the harness off and look for a burn connection, if not the flasher module is probably bad.

Turn on your Emergency flashers if all 4 flash your Primary signal flasher is shot replace it.
