SOURCE: volvo-left turn signal stuck on,not blinking

Remove the front turn signal bulb for the left side. There is a plastic lever if you look closely, push down the plastic lever and push forward and the lamp housing will come out.

Note: the plastic is very brittle and may break if not done carefully. Depending on the size of your hands the bulb socket can be removed in the car by turning the bulb socket base 45 deg. counter clockwise (if I remember right). Turn it one way and if it won't move turn it the other way.

With the socket unplugged start the car and see if the turn signal light on the dash is still stuck on. With any luck it will be off...

If the light is still on then there is a shorted wire somewhere in the system. If the light is off then we're on the right track.

Once you get the socket out remove and inspect the bottom side of the bulb. It should have two aluminum contacts on its base, if they are mushroomed and touching each other replace the bulb and recheck.

If the bulb is ok then replace the bulb holder. They sometimes short internally.

I hope this helps.

SOURCE: Blinker showing up on right side when left side is signaled to come on on my 2004 Dodge Ram Hemi

either the multifunction switch is bad or the wiring harness for the blinker is worn threw in the steering column, take it to a shop before you burn up the wirng harness, even if it's fuesd it can still melt thewires and cost a ton of money to fix.

SOURCE: Saturn 2002 VUE Turn Signal not working properly.

Had the exact same issue with my 2005 Vue, this had nothing to do with bad bulbs or ground...turned out that the battery was getting weak and couldn't handle running the radio, air, lights at the same time especially if the car was not running. Factory battery was only 550 amps... I replaced with a new 650 amps. It fixed the blinker and dashboard flashing problem.

I have a 1991 celica and for some reason the front signals does not work at all. When I turn on the blinkers it blink really fast on both sides but hazard light works fine it blinks normal but it...

check the main earth wire near the battery. and one near the rear of the lights. unbolt them and clean the connectors up put some grease on them after. then check again. remember that when the earth wires come off the radio code will be needed to reset the the radio. be safe and take the battery off.

Turn signal light right flash

flasher/blinker is busted. this is located under your dash board. remove steering column cover, turn on LEFT turn signal (yes, the one that is working), then you will hear a clicking sound. locate the relay that causes the sound. there you can see 2 relays (one for LEFT, other one for RIGHT turn),replace busted one.

Brake lights 65 mustang stopped working.I wondered can the issue be in steering column

On a "one brake light bulb per side" setup,the brake switch feeds 12v to the turn/hazard switch,and the switch will apply 12v to both when no turn signal activated,the right only when the left signal is on,the left only when the right signal is on,and none when the hazards are on.With this in mind,it IS possible that the turn signal switch or wiring is the issue.If you are still running the original switch,try removing the switch and cleaning/regreasing the contacts(or look for something obviously worn or broken).If the switch is bad-hey,you got almost 50 years out of it! I'll bet you won't get that much longevity out of anything built now!

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.

98 Chevy Tahoe, drivers side rear tail light assembly wont work, brake / turn signal. Replaced entire assembly, it worked for about 3 days then stopped working again. I need to get this fixed before I get...

I've got the same problem on 98 GMC Sierra.

I'm an electrical engineer, I checked the electrical diagrams and verified that there is no problem in the rear lamp assembly or wiring. With the light assembly unplugged, I can actually watch the blinker and brake signals operate with a voltmeter. The Tail light works OK.

It simply won't provide enough current to light the bulbs.

I'm afraid that it's melted one of a pair of normally closed contacts inside the blinker switch that feed the brake and turn separately on each side.
