Title: Problems with turn signal
Post by: Meister on June 12, 2007, 05:01:04 AM
I am having problems trying to fix my right front turn signal/parking light.
I replaced the bulb and that didn't work. I think I checked the correct fuse also and that didn't help either.

Does anyone have any suggestions that I could do?

Thanks

Are you getting power at the bulb connector?

I'm not sure.

Another problem that I'm having though is that my highbeam fuses keep blowing so im not sure if that might have anything to do with it

Sounds like you may have a short somewhere - check your harness for frayed wires. Which, of course, is easier to say than do, since the harness for the passenger side bulbs (all of them) runs behind the valance. I'd try a continuity check between your highbeam and turn signal connectors to ground.
