Date: 10-13-05 10:26 From: RayC911 Subject: Turn Signal problem..again.The last time I had an issue was no signals
at all. Found out it was a faulty hazard switch. Got a new one, all is fine. I swapped my front lights for Euro turn signals recently also. Everything seemed fine until tonight when I need my lights to see. No turn signal functions at all! The rear ambers stay lit. But hazards work. I'm assuming it's the front Euros but can't see how. Don't have my old lights to test since I gave them away. Any ideas. thanks

1. Make sure you connected the correct wire to the single filament bulb in your Euro front lights. One is for the parking lights, the other for the turn signals. US parking light assys use two filament bulbs, one for parking, one for turn signals.
2. Make sure the signals are grounding properly. they ground thru the mounting scrwes; chancy at best. Replacing existing screws with stainless steel will help. No ground=no front turn signals...
cheers

Did you wire them as turn signals or running lights? You probably did this but, did you insulate the end of the un-used wire? Did you change the blinker relay?

I'm using the U-haul Tap light so both wires are being used. The hazard switch is new. I would have changed the blinker relay too but everything is fine if i leave the headlights off. This sucks cause I can't take it out at night. ?????
