HELP, turn signal problem on my 90 rs
my turn signals worked just fine, but i decided to take off my lenses & try to buff them out, i took my bulbs out too just to keep them safe, once they were buffed, i reinstalled the bulbs then put the lenses back on (didnt screw them in yet) then i turned on my parking lights to see the diffrence the buffing made they looked super good so i screwed in the lenses. then i was on my way to the store & tried to use my turn signal & instead of the light blinking on and off the arrow just lit up and stayed lit up. not exactly sure if it was just a dumb mistake that i made somewhere or what.. any ideas?

Lol the same thing happened to me when i tried to polish them junk stock signal lenses and my lights started doing the same thing? By the way how did you polish them? i let my soak in hot soapy water all night and there still foggy? I'm about to buy some cheepos off ebay i guess anything would be better then this ****.

check your bulbs (all the signal bulbs) if they are fine my next suggestion would be the flasher mine went out of the blue a couple weeks ago i was omw home from the body shop and had no signals lol changed all my bulbs a couple were bad but still had the problem ended up being my flasher

Re: HELP, turn signal problem on my 90 rs
have heard people talking about them being in a few spots i can say mine was if you look under the steering column on the ride side of it where the obd1 plug is unscrew that plastic piece and there should be a silver like bracket attached to it about it going diagonal and mine was clipped on that diagonal bracket i could probably describe it better or walk you through to it on the phone easier so if you can't figure out what i tried to type then pm me and i will send ya my #

You blew a bulb - if one side flashes but other doesn't, you blew a bulb on the side that doesn't flash.
Flasher is where fuse panel is - there are 2 flashers, one for the 4ways and one for the turn signals.
