My blinkers dont blink.


When I use my brakes my gas guage goes all the way down and then backup? Anyone else experiencing this? Not that I care, just want to know.

The volt guage reads right when it wants too. The rpm guage is weird, and the spedometer broke when I floored it racing. =\

 

haha, well you got a whole host of problems there don't ya?

Ok first off you can check to see if the cable from the speedo is broken/loose before you say the gauge itself broke. It'll be a trick to do but if you can isolate it to the cable then you just have to replace the cable and you're good to go.

What's happening with the rpm gauge? More details can help us diagnose the problem.

Your blinkers not working can be a wide range of issues, I know it's dumb but try buying new bulbs or testing the ones that are in it right now. If bulbs arn't the issue, check fuses for burnt out ones.

Someone else can probably chime in where I didn't mention something.

 

Well i'm gonan do a whole 4th gen dash swap. The speedo bounces up and down sometimes and sometimes it reads correctly. As far as blinkers go ive checked bulbs, grounds, blinker box under steering column. Next im pulled the steering wheel and installing a new switch.

 

did you check the blinker relay? do this turn on ..say the left turn signal, then step on the brake pedal, what do the tail lights do? then turn of the turn signal, step on the brake pedal and again check the tail lights. if the left one does not come on and the right one does with the first test, then both come on with second test it is not your switch, if you get no brake lights at all check your fuses, if ok then I'd say maybe a switch is in order!

 

I did that, didnt make sense but I tried it. Brake lights are fine, blinker bulbs come on fine. They just wont blink. Relay is new.

 

check all of your turn signal bulbs, front, back, side,and inside, the flasher HAS to see a certan load before it will work properly. did you install an HD flasher? if so try a standard duty. let us know. you were preforming a functional test on the turn signal switch

 

my bad wrong person

 

Check your blinker fluid. That happens to a lot of women in my area. And good luck finding it as Auto Zone does NOT carry it.

 

I dunno if it matters what year the car is but I know when i first drove my 92 the gauages were bouncing back and forth like it was possessed. It ended up just being loose cable on the battery. As far as the gas gauge you could replace the float in the tank but it may just do the same thing. My car does it too though so just keep up with your mileage.

 

Sledge have you done all of your spring tune up yet? I'll bet you didn't change the air in your tires, of course I'm sure you didn't winterize them either. you are lucky that they did not freeze up on you

 

Actually I'm headed down to the shop right now to rotate the air in my tires. Luckily the first time is free.

 

I am such an idiot I forgot that you could rotate the

air, I was going to poney up the money for a complete air change. man I am glad you were there to help me out
