My front turn signals operate oddly - only on one filament.
When I turn the lights on, the lower filament in the bulb lights up. When I turn the turn signal on, that filament blinks on and off. The upper filament in the bulb never goes on. I believe when the lights are on, the lower filament is supposed to be lit, and when the turn signal is activated, the lower stays on, and the upper filament blinks. It's not the bulb - changing bulbs makes no difference and these are brand new. I finished painting the car so these were taken out and put back in. Are they wired wrong? That seems to be the problem. I marked everything pretty carefully - but who knows, they may have been wired wrong all along. I never paid much attention to it. Here's a (bad) pic. This is the driver's side, looking up into the fender. The prong at roughly 10 o'clock is grey with black stripe, the prong at roughly 1 o'clock is a double brown, and 4 o'clock is black with white stripe. If no one knows, can someone go out to their car and take a look with a flashlight?!? I shall be forever (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif) |

We have a wiener!
The bulbs are in correctly, but are not grounding in their sockets very well, on either side. If I jiggle them around and get them to sit just right, the lights function as they should. Some tab bending/sanding fixed me up good. I bow down to your superior knowledge!
