Lights

[Barneyszoo]

Need help with with lights. I got no blinker or break lights on the left side, right side and head lights work fine swapped bulbs and all are good. Any help.

Sorry that would be on an M35A2, Thanks

It seems like most of the time, bad grounds.

 

[Barneyszoo]

Thanks I'll start there. Does that blinker box on the fire wall ever go bad? Don't know anything about that.

oh yes , tap it with a hammer, its a relay.

actually, to my understanding anyway, most of the newer blinkers are solid state. But if it's the blinker you probably wouldn't have any turn signals at all....it's the same blinker, same circuit for both left and right. Like doghead said, I would start with the grounds, then if that fails check out the turn signal switch.

Thanks guys, mearly asking the question stimulated some brain cells. It was the conector on the back of the blinker switch, the locking ring was loose. DUH!

 

[Speddmon]

excellent troubleshooting skills!!!!

I'll bet that's one area you'll always check from now on when you have blinker issues.

I HAVE ALMOST THE SAME PROBLEM. Went out on day and have no brake lights or either signals. Do have tail lights.

When I bought my truck it had a bad break light switch on the master cyninder

That happens to me also...

I find at times that just as I'm finishing asking the question I think of the answer. Then the co-worker (or wife, or girl-friend, or etc...) I'm asking just gives me a puzzled look as I BLURT OUT the answer to the question I just asked!

I simply tell them that one of my other multiple-personalities knew the answer!



Do you know why something is always in the last place you look??
