Check the Blinker Fluid?

Longhorn Man · 02-08-2006, 08:24 PM

oooooooo, you got SYNTHETIC blinker fluid... you went all out on yours huh?

That synthetic blinker fluid causes leaks!

Seriously, time to get out the test light and start doing some testing. I think the complete wiring harness was posted on the FAQ section, shouldnt be to hard to track the problem down.

You do have to have good gaskets, if they're all dried out they're gonna leak, that is probally why you need some to begin with.

Unplug and plug back in the turn signal harness connector coming out of the steering column. Also check the contacts in the turn signal switch.

Also check the PCB on the back of the dash cluster for burns.

I Had The Same Problem And Found That Spraying The Connectors With Electrical Contact Cleaner,or Electric Motor Cleaner Got Mine Working. Its Works Wonders. Now If Its A Plug Or Connector I Spray It.

I have the same problem with mine, but mine has something to do with the socket. The one that is not working is abnormally hard to push in and take out...If I leave the bulb a little loose in the socket, it works...otherwise, I get nothing (when it's in properly). I couldn't figure this one out. I'm ready to replace the whole dang blinker assembly at this point.

I had this exact same problem and the day I was reading this post I brought my blinker relay thing with me to work to take to the local parts store so I could get a new one. Instead of buying the relay I got some wire harness cleaner. Went home unpluged all connections and bulbs and sprayed em down. It worked like a charm! Thanx guys!
