Strange light problem
Posted: Wed Jun 20, 2012 6:42 pm
I installed the old, relay style turn signal upgrade. All my lights work, except the rear passenger side turn signal. I checked the wire going from the relay box to the light, it was fine. I checked the post on the relay box. The incoming wire from the directionals flashed, the post for the outgoing wire to the front turn signal flashed. The post for the rear turn signal had no current going to it. So, the bad connection is in the box. does anyone know if there is a fuse in the box, before I take it apart? Right now, I have a single cross wire going over from the working front light to the post for the tail light. It provides it with a flashing charge, and the rear turn signal now lights. This is kind of a ghetto rigged contraption though, and I wonder both if it is stable, and if I can fix the problem without having to try and find another box.
The other thing I noticed, is that the directionals work in "stop light mode". They don't work in full drive lights, unless I flick over to stop light, then back to drive lights. Then they work fine, as many times as I use them.

but I would love to get some advice from someone who knows far more than me!
I installed the old, relay style turn signal upgrade. All the lights were working. Then, suddenly, the turn signals, and the rear taillights, stopped working. I cleaned all the connectors, loosened, checked the pins, and then tightened, the 3 lever light switch. Took the lens covers off the affected lights, checked the bulbs and wiring, and fixed them back in place. Now, all my lights worked, except the rear passenger side turn signal. I checked the wire going from the relay box to the light, it was fine. I checked the post on the relay box. The incoming posted flashed, the post for the outgoing wire to the front turn signal flashed. The post for the rear turn signal had no current going to it.
