Blinker



30 years together and still in love.


This weekend I replaced my steering wheel. While I had the steering wheel off I replaced the blinker cam because the left blinker wouldn't turn off. Now when I turn on the right blinker the rear blinker works but not the front or the indicator light on the dash. I know the bulbs aren't burned out because when I turn on the emergency flashers all lights flash. Any thoughts?

Thought 1: You messed up in the installation of the new cam
Thought 2: There are other problems besides the cam in the turn signal switch.

ctubutis, I thought of that but my thoughts were that if the cam or switch was bad the rear blinker wouldn't work either. I will re-visit the cam again. Thanks

The front and rear signals feed separately from the turn signal switch-this is so your front signals don't come on when you hit the brakes. Check wire connections, possibly a defective switch (the issue I had) ~Bill

Thanks Bill, That makes sense. Guess I should have got up off my wallet and bought a whole new switch to begin with.
