I drive a '93 Buick LeSabre. Lately, I've had a problem with my left side turn signal and brake-light. The lights would come on, but wouldn't flash. So, I changed the bulbs, and one of the brake light/rear turn signal bulbs was rusted in to the socket. So, I took some pliers to it and got it out. I replaced the three troublesome bulbs, and I thought that would have fixed my problem. Needless to say, I was wrong. The lights that were burnt out work now, but the turn signals still won't flash. Help. I'm tired of having to redirect my trips so I don't have to make left turns. |

could have something to do with bad wiring, but I don't know all that much about that, other than it likes to fuck things up. | ||

If you had a problem with your wiring/bulbs getting blown, possibly your fuses blew simultaneously. Look in your fuse box for blown fuses and replace them. Good fuse  See how it has that U and it's all connected? that's a good fuse A bad fuse does not have that entire Metal U  Replace any bad fuses with the PROPER COLOR AND AMPERAGE. Most will have numbers like 15 or 30 on the top. you must replace fuses with the proper number otherwise it could fucking it up even worse. If it's not the fuses... Wiring. If you had that bad of a rusted light, you need to dig deeper, literally. Unscrewing the lights and seeing where the line is bad. It could just be a possible unhinged cable. Meaning it might not be plugged in all the way somewhere. however you will only know this after checking your fuses, and before you go ripping off the light without knowing what you're doing, you might want to have someone locally look at it. I recently had this issue with my Subaru With my Subaru my dad was fucking with the brake system and we went through so much shit and the whole time I was saying "are you SURE you didn't unhook the blinkers?" and he was positive that he only unhooked three cables. Turned out they were unplugged somewhere. and we had the same issue. Changed all the bad fuses, check the power supply, then checked the wiring. Do the same. |

Good call DarkNarf, thats what i told bandito it was on xfire, i was too lazy to post lol. Ya the relay is a little black box sometimes round and sometimes with GM they combine it with two for some odd reason. Its a simple replacement, but if you have the double pack GM charges like 150$ to detach them lol. |
