Turn signal problem AGAIN

[Jared]

ok here we go:

whenever i turn on my parking lights both corner lights light up perfectly fine. BUT when i turn on the headlights the driver side corner light dims to barely being on. and at the same time the little turn signal light in the gauge cluster comes on and stays on. then when i put my signal on it flashes really really fast (in rear only...does in front too but light is soooo dim you cant see it.)

then when i turn lights of and go back to parking lights only everything is normal again. :confused:

any suggestions? ideas?

bad ground, check the ones by the headlights, let me know

[Jared]

ok. i have no idea what im looking for. where is the ground? whats it look like? i suck at wiring.
i know of the one we used for the indiglo's but thats just fro the epicenter for the indiglo's. so that cant be it.

have you tried just swapping out the bulbs are maybe checking the fuses?

[Jared]

ok this damn problem is back! :banghead:

checked all fuses and they all good. i dont know where the ground is. so help me there.


also my headlight has an orange tint to it. and it flashes when i turn on the turn signal. not the corner light but the actual headlight flickers really fast.

WTF is wrong? im completely lost!

[Jared]

:banghead:

thats for sure a wiring problem. Check right on the corner on the fender...thats where my headlights were grounded and they flickered on and off...i screwed the bolt down (where the ground was attached) and problem solved....bad ground sounds like

[Jared]

thanks bro. think you were right. :eek: :D

my ground was on the core support right in front of battery. i removed bolt. cleaned it up and tightened it down. checked lights, and all was good again. fogs too :D

but the funny thing was the bolt was never completely tight. it would go so far..then i just turn and turn and it wont get any tighter? supposed to do that?


oh well.... problem fixed for now. if comes back; now i know where to look.

I believe that is called being stripped...get one with a nut on the back or drill and tap it the next size up. The bolt in there right now is probably m6 x 1.25 pitch
