In some lights the bulb is held in by a part that you give a 1/2 turn to and the lot comes out so that you can replace the bulb If the wires to it are shorted out then go to a wreckers and get the section and the wiring back to the connector.

SOURCE: left rear turn signal and brake light dont work

You have a broken wire to the turn/brake light portion of the light as they use the same wire. Or where the plug goes into the light assy could be bad. Torsion mount lights are horrible and you should think about replacing with a universal light that you can wire direct.

your socket may not be grounded properly, I have seen this before, and the simplest way to fix is change the socket with a new one.Not another used one it may also be bad.

2004 Ford Excursion, rear right turn signal socket no power, front signal blinks faster. Replaced bulb, turn signal relay but still no power to rear socket. Any ideas?

i don't know. blinker slows to normal when both bulbs work. using volt meter or similar, test rear socket for a
continuity to ground. if OK test socket for 12 volts from
socket to ground. if OK, bulb is not making contact. if not
OK, note wire colour and look for damaged or loose
connection from front. check white back up light as well.

Turn signal flashes fast but bulbs good

First place to check is for a bad wire connection in the hitch plug as it may be shorting out on another wire.

Left turning signals not working

If your bulbs are fine and fuses are fine, it may be your bulb socket/sockets. with the blinker flashing, try playing with the wires on the bulb socket. push them in, push the bulb in and wiggle both around to make a connection. If it starts flashing, you need a new socket.

2003 Jeep liberty right front turn signal

why skip RR lamp? what does IT DO? be like 1st 1st look.
dim, out, fast?

the rapid is talking to you
it means current is wrong,
shorted, or open lines. to the right.
its the wiring
if the bulbs are like 1157 brass base bulbs
why not replace them first , they can short inside,
asking online for guessing is silly, why listen to 10 examples for this.
but is cut wires.
shorted wires.
keep i mind the blinker asks funny for both opens and shorts
its a feature, that.
low current or too much.

the acid test is connect 2 TEST bulbs in parallel to the multi-function switch output right side,
blinks ok now, bingo bad lamps or bad wiring, from there to the right side.

if the hazard fails you never said????
if rigth front is dim or dead the bulb is blown or shorted
if new bulb there , then the wires are shorted.
to it.
the only help on line worth squat is how to test and use your meter.
you can, check for voltage
you can check continuity on that line (its just 1 wire)
and check for shorts on that wire to ground (lamps pulled right side to do that, lamps read 0 ohms cold)
look for collision damage RF? behind lamp sockets?
be first.
in my book.
looking is always first. sure.


I have your SM book open now, chapter 8w-50
the haz/blink module has just 2 pins, left and right out.
pin 3 on the module runs front and rear blinks, (a fact to know)
RF is BR/RD, brown -red stripe?
all comments USA on USA forum. USA car.
ok?

the right side lamp (sidemaker) only blinks turns if parks ARE oFF

Id try 2 new blinker lamps front and 1 rear.
that be first. or test the lamp on a battery , and no not get burned fingers hot wring a shorted lamp.

wish i knew
what rear did
and what both did on HAZ
out, dim or to fast.

The left front turn signal is not working

Fast flashing occurs when one bulb in the circuit has failed. If the back turn signal bulb is flashing, then a front bulb has failed. Try replacing any remaining burned out bulbs (there may be more than one at the front and/or the back - if the right side is ok, check that side of the vehicle for locations reference). Be aware that the problem can also be one or more bad turn light bulb socket connections - in some cases, dielectric grease may have been added inside the sockets to inhibit corrosion. This is not usually a problem, but to be sure, make sure they are clean and free of corrosion.

How to replace rear turn signal bulb 99 park avenue

Replacing a front turn signal bulb is easy, as I just did my own. On the front driver's side, look at the wheel well splash panel and you'll see one plastic pin. Use a claw hammer and pull the pin out. Now just pull the plastic splash panel out of your way.

Look behind the front bumper and you'll see the light fixture. The top left wire and & bulb socket is right there. Give the socket a 1/4 turn to the left and you have access to replacing the bulb which is a 194, available at any parts store, 2 for $5.00.

No passenger side brake light. right flasher module going bad .

Check the rear bulb socket. You might even try wiggling the wires on the back of the socket while you have the signal on.
