light problems need a place to start looking
Hi Everyone,
I'm looking for some advice on what and where to check for the light issue i'm having.
It first started with when I would activate my right turn signal it would make the fast blink sound or clicking, but no green arrow. I check all the bulbs and fuses they were good. If I pushed the turn signal handle up just before it would lock in, the blinker would work normal. That happend for a couple of weeks. also my hazards worked fine..all lights functioned. The left blinker functioned normal.
Well now I have no turn signals at all, no clicking or green arrows. Nor do I have any reverse lights. I am going to check the fuses in the fuse panel again...but where else could I look? My hazards do work. All of my light bulbs are good.
I hate electrical issues. Help

Those MFS's control alot of things and they suck. My buddy took his apart (CAREFULLY) and cleaned it out and put it back together and is still running it now... Maybe something to look at as they are a little spendy.

turn signal switch
HI,
I just finished taking the switch out, apart, cleaned, greased, and put back in with the same results. nothing changed and everything else controlled by the switch works. is there anything else that would have to be replaced? relays?
any help is much appreciated.

Try replacing the turn signal flasher
It is different from the hazards flasher. I do not see how the "reverse lights" could be related to this problem and you should look for a seperate solution for that. Fuse, bulbs, switch, etc.

fixed it
After doing some more searching in the forum here, I found another post with the same issue. Turns out there is another fuse that covers both the turn signals and the back up lights. I still have to look in my book to see how fuse #27 is listed but that was the fix. Thank you for your input.
