Lighting messed up.

I have been searching a while now and can't figure my situation out. When my headlights are on, the amber lights (they blink with the blinker on) won't come on. They only work when I use my blinkers. I pull the headlight switch to parking lights, and the only lights that come on are my running tail lights. All the wiring seems to be in tact, I don't see any splits under the dash or anything. Car is an 84 v6 5speed. Any ideas? ?

And the blinker lights stay on with the headlights in park mode, and headlights on. They just aren't on outside the car.

On Your Marker Lights, Get Set , GO !

Do the Dash Illumination Lights work when you pull the Headlight Switch?

If yes, check the 2-filament bulbs to make sure they are the correct type, and installed correctly.

A common mistake is people installing 2-filament bulbs 180° rotated.

Some crazy symptoms have been reported doing that.

Check all 4 bulbs separately with an ohmmeter or power source to make sure they are good.


Happy Racing !

Re: Lighting messed up.

My guess is bad bulbs or Aftermarket wiring/splices.

Like Nina said; check all 4 of the blinkers ( 2 front and 2 back ),... but also be sure to check the Fenders' front corner "MARKER" lights too !
