2003 SSEi signal issue

Post by Toms94 »

On the trip to visit the daughter today I noticed the left turn signal is not working. Right signal is fine. When I turn it on the rear light glows...dimly, but glows. The front doesn't, I had a new bulb so I replaced it, still no love. Are there separate fuses for left and right side blinkers? Could a flasher be bad on just one side? Any suggestions?

Check all the bulbs including the front. There is only 1 fuse for both sets of blinkers.

Ok, I have replaced both bulbs with new ones. Still the same. I don't think that I mentioned before that when I turn on the four way flashers, the right ones both work and the left doesn't. It does not even light them up on the dash. I also check the fuse, which was good obviously since the passenger side works. I always thought that when the bulb goes out and you turn the blinker on the light on the dash would burn solid.....not blink but would be on. :dontknow:

when you say the left side glows dimly it makes me think the problem is a ground.
