Turn signal problems
« on: 01 April 2017, 12:22:16 pm »
I have some problems with my turn indicators.
Right now only the rear right side flashes.
Had some problems last year with them also but then only left front didnt work and suddenly it was fine again.


Somebody had this problem before?

The problem with left side solved, its the switch thats slow so it has to be pulled more so they work.


Now its only the right front indicator that not flashes.

I’ve had similar problems with mine in the past.
A continuity tester helped to find the poor contacts, the bulb-holder itself being one of them.
Where there is visible corrosion, scrape it clean, give the female connectors a squeeze with some pliers to tighten them, you should need to push them quite firmly to get the two halves to mate. Apply contact cleaner to all connections including the switch. Check you have continuity to chassis from the bulb-holder.

The connectors are new and tested also without them.
Tested also the lamp and its working if I switch it to the other side.. :'( maybe te problem is longer back on the cable..

Yes, you’ll need to check all the connections right back to the point common to the rear indicator and from the other bulb-holder terminal to chassis.
Problems are most likely at the connectors, but it’s possible a wire has broken inside the loom. It’s likely there will be external damage visible if that is the case.
