Title: Turn Signal Connections
Post by: ABuseO on August 10, 2007, 03:12:01 PM

I would like to know where the connections/wiring for the turn signals are, last night mine stopped working, we just got over a trunk light problem now the turn signals arent working, i drove the car for about 15 minutes parked it and hung out with some friends for a few hours drove it again, parked it for another hour and a half, drove it and the turn signals worked again. but then stopped after a few minutes, i might have turned my stereo up within this process, would that have anything to do with a wiring problem, i also drove my car pretty hard, and it might have vibrated the wiring in some way making a bad connection somewhere, Anyone have any experience with this?

One thing that happen to me when my right front turn signal stopped working was that the wiring came loose where it plugs in at right behind the light.  

So if you think that might be the case just remove your front bumper slightly and you should be able to see in there without removing it completely

That actually happened to me today. I was cleaning the car, and then went to go get oil, when I got back I noticed the front left park light was not on, but the blinker worked. Now nothing works. I am installing new "things to plug the light in to" and taking off the bumper to see why it is not working.
