914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Using turn signal turns on my highbeams.

Posted by: tornik550 Sep 28 2012, 08:32 PM

Ever since I have owned my car, if I have my headlights on and I use the right turn signal, it turns on or off my high beams. It's very annoying when I am at a stop light and I turn my right signal on and flash my high beams into oncoming traffic. I took the turn signal switch out to look at it and clean it. Everything appears normal. Any ideas?

The highbeams work by sending a momentary ground to the relay. Something is loose or touching something it shouldn't. Study the brown/white wire and it's connection right at the end of the stalk.

Have you checked all Ground connections ?

Every thing in the general area of the switch looks ok. Could this just simply be that I have a bad switch?
