Turn Signal Problems

Good Evening yall,

I’m sure a question like this has been asked a thousand times but I’m having trouble finding an answer to this specifically. Today, I want through and replaced my header panel and threw on some new lights. Replaced all bulbs and yes I kept the halogen turn signals haha. However, my RH turn signal is not functioning. Not when using the blinker or the 4ways.

What’s some of the common culprits of something like this? Im really hoping to not have to change any wiring. They look in decent shape for being 30 years old anyways.

Thanks in advance!

Do the blinkers work on the RH side when using just the RH blinker? I would look at the ground points for the RH side.

You may have gotten a bad bulb. Try swapping another one in its place.


did you get the LEDs from Amazon? Some of those are dead out of the box

Nope sorry for that! Eyes read one thing brain said another. Right Hand Turn Signal doesn’t work at all. Not on 4ways, not when signaling, and not with just the running lights on.

Sounds like you may have gotten a bad bulb. Swap another in and see what it does
