Oh Geezzz! Problems with the Lights:

Im having alot of problems with some of my external and internal lights.

1. The front right park/turn signal light comes on but when I turn the right blinker on, it doesn't blink. Its a brand new bulb.

2. I just replaced both side marker bulbs (for the first time, both have not worked since ive owned the car, 2 years). The right one is fine and dandy, but the left one only comes on when the turn single is on. If the turn signal is not on, neither is the light.

3. Finally, after I replaced the two side marker lights I started getting another problem. The interior green turn signal lights normal don't light up with out the signals on. But now, the left arrow is always on!! Both light come on and blink normally when the signals are on, but when driving down the road, the left arrow is always on.

Help?

Are all turn signals all around the car working? Are your relays good?

Note No. 1 &2 about turn signal problems (actually, really all three). Relays? How do I check? Thanks

lol.. sometimes it can seem that way.

Remove your driver's side hush panel (the panel just above your knees when you're sitting in it normally). On the right side just behind the ALDL connector you'll see what's known as the "convenience center". It contains the relays and "door dinger" module. They should be labelled so you know which one to replace.

When you go part hunting, try to make sure you're getting an electric relay, rather than a thermal relay. They both do the same thing, but the thermal relay is more sensitive to low voltage after it's aged (slow blinking at idle). If you can't, don't worry. Anything's better than a bad one.

The convenience center has some release tabs so that it can fold down for easy access. The fusebox is actually the same way (not everyone knows that).

Yes, but it's harder to fold the fusebox down than it is to crawl under there. :P
