Extra Work On The Side

With the key in RUN, turn signal stalk in the left turn position, use a test light to probe the light blue wire out of the turn signal switch.

Is there power there?

If not, replace the switch.

If there is power there, make sure it gets in and out of the connector located near the lower right of the steering column.

Then make sure power gets in and out of the large connector located near the left front of the dash below the relay bracket.

From there it goes to the lamps on the front of the car.


Happy Racing!


How bout those too scared to drive without headlights in the daytime and the ones that need headlights for a little rain

Re: no sidemarkers help please

If the front turns and park lights are working on the drivers side then it is time to check for power at the connectors on the side marker bulb holder. Suprisingly with the turn signal on for that side with the parking lights on both sides should be reading as hot. At least for a Bird it should. I would expect the same for the Camaro. I used a test light from ground to each side of the wiring. One side flased with the turn signal and the other was steady on for the parking light. When mine didn't work (Thank You TGO Members) I found that I had bad contact inside the bulb holder. If no power on one side but on the other then I would bet on a broken wire between there and where it connects to the other wiring. In my Bird the wires go to the power on front turn signal and the power for front park light. I know it sounds wrong but neither side actually went to ground.
If the fronts aren't working then recheck every thing posted earlier by NINA.
As I stated I just had to fix them on my car.
