Blinkers

  • May 16, 2013 9:35 AM PDT
    When I turn the ignition switch on, my right front blinker light comes on and stays on. I have checked the bulb and it is ok. Is there a short? Maybe a bad fuse? Any suggestions appreciated. THANKS

    Is it flashing or on solid?

    Solid, but will flash when the blinker is turned on.

    Sounds to me like one filament on your left light is burned out. The blinkers (both) should be on all the time as running lights. When you turn on the blinker they flash. Try replacing the left bulb, or switch them if you don't have one.

    Filaments looked good, but a new bulb fixed it right up. Just glad not to go thru the diagnostics crap. Thanks

    Glad you got it fixed!!!

    Most, including me, don't even realize the front blinkers are also running lights until one burns out. The they notice the one on and think that one has a problem staying on :-)
