Re: Should I have 5 volts in turn signal circuit?

The power to the blinkers usually go thru the flasher to make them blink. However, I am not sure if a flasher is bad do you get a light continuous or a "no light" condition. The parking light bulb is dual filament. One is parking, the other is blinker. They are separate circuits. |

Re: Should I have 5 volts in turn signal circuit?
I'm just not sure how to better ground it. The housing appears to be plastic, so I'm not sure where I'd run an additional ground. I could try grounding at the rear where the housing is metal though. Think that might work?

Re: Should I have 5 volts in turn signal circuit?
Take a look at the other side to see what is different, since it works properly (right?). Maybe that will help.

Re: Should I have 5 volts in turn signal circuit?
If you're talking about the turn signal/park light in the front bumper, the housing should be metal. It grounds through its attachment point to the bumper (the bumper is grounded to the frame).

There are no turn signals in this front bumper. It's custom. I'm talking about the turn signals in the side markers on the front. Those appear to be plastic housings.

Re: Should I have 5 volts in turn signal circuit?
They are plastic. There should be a ground wire coming out of the front lighting harness that grounds to the core support by the voltage regulator.
