just installed a new turn signal relay today. it works now, but the lights that are supposed to blik light up very dimly, but if i leave the blinker on and turn the car off, all the lights on that side light up like they should when u forget to cancel the blinker. when i do this, they light up brightly. also my hazard switch isnt working now, and it was b4 i installed the relay. i took the stem off the hazard switch the previous day and the switch fell behind there.....could that have shorted out? and info appreciated. i should be able to register and DRIVE the damn thing once i get these little electrical gremlins fixed.

A wire is mis-connected somewhere in the turn signal circuit. Or you have the wrong type of bulb in one of your light sockets. (The front turn signals use dual-filament bulbs, the rear brake lights likewise; if you use single-filament bulbs in them all kinds of weirdness will happen to you!)
Those are my two best guesses. A good thorough stare at the wiring diagrams, and a nice $20 Rat Shack multimeter, should at least let you start on tracking it down. --DD |
