Author	Topic: HELP ! Have turn signal problems
KenG POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:Hamilton, OH, US Registered: Jan 2001 Admin Use	posted 04-06-2001 09:31 PM I had my dealer repaint my bumpers the same color as my car but now I have signal problems. I drove the car for the first time tonight since getting it back and here is what's happening.... 1.Left turn signal indicator on the dash lights up when I turn on my lights. 2. Left front running light is brighter than the right front. 3. Left turn signal will not flash. 4. Right signal flashes both tail lights AND the dash lights! What could the dealer have done ???? If I disconnect the left front light, the right side works fine but the left side flashes at triple speed. Any ideas for this weekend before I take it back to the dealer????? ------------------ Ken Gensheimer 1999 Yellow Coordinated Bumpers Prowler Pro Gears (awesome) Ceramic Pads MAC Air Intake Lollypop Red Shimmers Chrome license plate bracket Can NOS be far behind?

(The turn signal filament may be broken and arcing across the parking light terminals.) ------------------ Larry (Cruise Control) Lord Larry@FMBbox.com

First check the left (driver side) front running light bulb and make sure that it is good. You can substitute the bulb from the other side. Also check the rear brake light / turn signal bulb in the rear to make sure it is good. Next, check the wiring going to the light to make sure that the wires are not pinched, shorted, or spliced by the dealer. He may have reversed the running light / turn signal light wires which could explain why the running light is brighter on the driver side. I hope this helps! ------------------ Mike Krehel ProwlerOnline.com

Make sure the bulbs are plugged in right and check the connecters located where the bumper bolts to the chassis. They are only supposed to go in one way and have a lock strap on them. ------------------ AL Yellow is DCOOLEST
KenG POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:Hamilton, OH, US Registered: Jan 2001 Admin Use	posted 04-07-2001 07:13 AM Thanks for the help guys! I have tried swapping the bulbs and get the same result. I've checked all of the connectors and they are connected properly. I will check today to see if maybe the cable got pinched or shorted when they re-assembled the bumpers. It certainly has me baffled! ------------------ Ken Gensheimer 1999 Yellow Coordinated Bumpers Prowler Pro Gears (awesome) Ceramic Pads MAC Air Intake Lollypop Red Shimmers Chrome license plate bracket Can NOS be far behind?
KenG POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:Hamilton, OH, US Registered: Jan 2001 Admin Use	posted 04-07-2001 08:50 AM I GOT IT FIXED !!!!! When I installed my Real Rod front license plate bracket, I drilled 3 holes in the bottom of the bumper to attach it. As luck would have it, 1 of the screws went through the turn signal cable. I removed the screw and all is fine I can't get to the damaged cable because it is inside of the bumper, but it seems to be working fine and is protected from the elemants. Thanks for all of your suggestions and a word of caution to all future Real Rod bracket owners. ------------------ Ken Gensheimer 1999 Yellow Coordinated Bumpers Prowler Pro Gears (awesome) Ceramic Pads MAC Air Intake Lollypop Red Shimmers Chrome license plate bracket Can NOS be far behind?

KenG POA Site Supporter Prowler Junkie From:Hamilton, OH, US Registered: Jan 2001 Admin Use	posted 04-07-2001 04:55 PM Richard, it does attach with tape but I was not satisfied it would stay there at highway speeds. There are 3 holes where you can drill and attach it and so it did . What were the odds of hitting the wires???? ------------------ Ken Gensheimer 1999 Yellow Coordinated Bumpers Prowler Pro Gears (awesome) Ceramic Pads MAC Air Intake Lollypop Red Shimmers Real Rod front plate holder Chrome license plate bracket (rear) Can NOS be far behind?
