Got a wierd one. My turn signals all work fine with the headlights off. With them on, the rights work, but the lefts (front and rear) do not. What could this be? For what its worth, but I dont think its got any effect, I deleted the hockey puck side markers.

The front left turn signal housing is wired wrong. you system is pulling its ground through the head light circuit. Possibly the front left signal ground is broken

This will confirm the issue. Also with the parking light on, just the dim filament should be lit. |
