Replaced left/right signal arm and car still won't start

Left turn signal stuck in car; dealership said entire signal arm needed to be replaced; bought new signal unit and installed. Car won't start and battery is new. Checked all fuses, relay switches and can't figure out what else could be wrong. Had to have car towed home. Still not fixed?

Seems that whoever fitted Left Turn Signal, might have messed up some wireing ! If your starting problems started after you had turn signal fitted, the tell Worksop / Dealer who did your repair. If you had problems starting before Turn Repair, then take to Garage for investigation

Toyota sienna turn signals blinking fast

first thing I would is check ALL of the bulbs...front and rear,usually the fast flashing is from a bad bulb causing electricity to backfeed to the instrument cluster,I would replace the bulbs first,and I doubt the t/s assy is bad, do the emergency flashers work?

How To Install Replace Windshield Wiper motor on a Honda Odyssey

Put the right side wiper on only. Turn on wipers. When the wiper moves all the way to the left and starts to go back to the right turn off the ignition with the wiper switch still on. Remove the right wiper arm and install the left wiper arm in the far left of the wiper movement. Turn on ignition and allow the left wiper to go all the way back to it's rest location at the bottom of the windshield. Turn off ignition and install the right side wiper arm. This will give you a start to properly set the wiper arms.

Left turn signals won't flash, Right side works fine. Replaced front and rear turn bulbs (rear was burned out). Bulbs come on fine on the left side, they just won't flash.

Gday mate, we had a problem with another late model vehicle similar to that, the bulb that was put into the reverse light was not exact brand product ( ohmage was slightly wrong ) and fowled up computer, correct bulb in place and disconnect battery to reset K A M ( keep alive memory) problem solved, BEWARE, some vehicles cannot have KAM reset except for dealer computer tethered reboot , just try putting the factory correct bulb(s) in and see how it goes, geoff. hope this helped.

I have a Hyundai Santro 2000 model. When I turn extreme left and when I just start to return to align straight, I get a noise from the steering. Could this be the left bearing in the axle needs to be...

I would take it in to a reputable shop like Firestone or Midas. Usually they won't charge you to tell you what is wrong. Ask them over the phone first. Sounds like your Idler arm or a broken ball joint and the pump is straining to turn it.

Turn signal switch return

Hello;
Unfortunately the entire switch must be replaced. When you pull the steering wheel to accss the switch, make sure the cam is not worn out that activates the return. The switch usually wears out on the return but I have seen the cam worn out.
Hope this helps,
Thanks;

Chev Cavalier 2003 only one rear turn/brake/hazard light

I have a 2002 Chev Cavalier that had the same exact problem. I replaced the bulb harness (purchased from a chevy dealership for around $5) which was fairly easy to do. I have had zero problems with it since.
