Been having a little problem with the turn signals. I noticed that the dash indicator would light both directionals if I activated the right turn but would work correctly with the left turn. Now....they don't light up at all and the turn signals don't work when I have the headlights on. They work fine with the lights off(even though the dash indicator doesn't) I did have a bulb out in the rear and I checked the connections while I had it apart.
This being my first 914, where should I look next? Anybody ever experiance something like this? Thanks in advance! |

Do these steps and let me know what happens.
1. With Key off! left turn signal on= front and rear marker lights on right turn signal on= front and rear marker lights on This is a quick check of the grounds for each light circuit Nothing. 2. turn signal switch in netural turn on parking lights=front and rear lights on this checks the power and wiring to each light lights work 3. Turn off parking lights Turn on 4 way flasher this check power and the flasher. Blows fuse doesnt work 4. Turn off 4 way flasher. Turn on key! step on the brake pedal= rear brake lights should work this check the fuse and brake switch works 5.Check turn signals now, they should work if both turn signal indicators lights light this is telling you the bulb for the other side is burn out or is the wrong type bulb installed or the flasher is bad. Note. Turn signal inducator bulbs use the bulb for the other side for ground to light it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) nope 6. Apply the hand brake= brake light should flash checks the switch on EM brake and flasher If any of these steps fail, FIX IT first before doing the next step |

Remove fuse #5 (left side), fuse #6 (right side) Remove the bulbs on the left and right sides Check left side first check the contact for a false ground, if ground is not there replace the bulbs and replace fuse #5 turn on the left turn signal. bulbs should work. Repeat the above for the right side fuse #6 Let me know what you find. |
