Passenger side blinker stays solid

Hi. Have been rewring alot of things including engine and light harnesses.

Check all the bulbs. That is the typical notice to the driver, that a bulb is blown somewhere.

Re: Passenger side blinker stays solid

Possibly a missing connection to ground? I was rebuilding my hatch pull down the other day and didn't reconnect a ground and my turn signals didn't blink, but I think it was both sides in my case. Just an idea.

Re: Passenger side blinker stays solid

All the blulbs work. I'll check all the grounds again though, thanks.

ALSO: When I turn the interior lights on, the 2 dash blinker indicator bulbs light up too. Again...clueless.

Re: Passenger side blinker stays solid

Still havn't been able to solve this. When I give the flasher module a good smack, the right blinkers will blink once. The left blinkers have no problems. I don't understand, since the current goes from the blinker switch into the flasher, then to the lights, how the drivers side bulbs blink but the passenger ones do not. They share the same damn flasher. Why will it blink for one side and not the other?

the flasher itself works...and the current to the bulbs when you hit the blinker switch can only get to the bulbs by going THROUGH the flasher.

I know they use a separate flasher, but the hazards work just fine by the way...

so stumped

Re: Passenger side blinker stays solid

I had this happen to me on an 87 camaro. Turn signals would stay solid, one turn signal would work occasionally, headlights would work only sometimes but not others, different combinations of non working lights. Turn signal dash indicator light was always steady. Headlight terminals were corroded back into the wires. Got new connectors and soldered them in and that solved all of the above. Probably just a bad wire somewhere. Hope you get it figured out.

Re: Passenger side blinker stays solid

since this thread is from 09, im sure hope he figured it out by now. most common issues for lights not doing what theyre supposed to is a bad ground, or a blown bulb.

on a side note, welcome to TGO.
