Hopefully my last blinker question🤞

[cfriedman67]

Russ Thompson turn signal RON Francis wire harness. All blinkers work except the rear drivers side. When I put the hazards on all blinkers work except rear drivers side. When I put the car lights on one click or two all lights work including the none blinking drivers rear. I have used a test light on the 8 pin weather pack terminal for the drivers rear (yellow wires) and it does light so it is getting power. I have also swapped bulbs with the other side so I know it’s not the bulb. Also, the drivers rear was working last week. Any suggestions would be appreciated.


Thanks Craig

Check the contacts inside the bulb socket. Mine used 1157 base bulb, I think. One of the contacts, was no longer in line, due to the spring being canted. It does not take much for a bulb to work, even less to make it not work.
good luck,

Yup! Sound advice. I have also seen the bulbs put in 180* and only had one tab make contact. Check the bottom of the bulb and make sure the lead knobs are proud enough. Check bulb to make sure the element hasn't burned out...da Bat

Also check to make sure the socket is actually built correctly. I had one that I had to take apart because the insulator was crammed in the socket 90 degrees out. The quick check is take a pencil and try to push in on the contacts. They should push in and spring back out fairly easy. If it does not you need to figure out why.
