Turn signal problem

When i turn on my turn signals they only work when i'm in motion, while stopped just shows the solid green arrow as if the bulb has gone out and the signals dont work. But when i start moving they work fine again i'm pretty stumped about this one i have no clue whats up with this.

Probably a short. Do you have a trailer wiring harness pigtail? If so check there first, a lot of times it is where the splice is or where the pigtail plugs in. Hope this helps and Good Luck,

Probably have a bad bulb or your flaher may be bad. I would check those for starters.

It's probably a bad ground at the taillights, or a bulb installed backward. When you say "only when stopped", you actually mean "only when the brake lights are on", right???

Mine did that and it was the flasher that goes in the fuse box. $3

Turn signal problem

yah i fixed the problem a while just forgot to mention it. I guess while off roading my bumper caught on something and it ripped the trailer harrness connector off. So i had bare wires grouding to the bumper i saw that so i lifted them off the bumper and now everything works fine again, for a little bit i was freaking out because i thought i had a bad short somewhere. But thanks for your info you guys come in handy.
