Turn Signal help needed

roadrunnerh · Jun 28, 2018

Hello again guys. My 68 RR has turn signal issues. They cancel ok, but my right side doesn't blink/flash, only the left does. Any thoughts? I've checked the wiring around the indicator in the front bumper. The light works fine otherwise. Also, when I turn on the parking lights, the right side dash indicator stays lit. Help!

Sounds like a ground problem with right side light and it is finding ground path through indicator light. Is park lamp dim on right side that would be where bad ground is. Flasher has to have bulb load from front and back bulbs to flash.

Check for corrosion in the bulb socket.

Well, the Rt. Parking light housing was not grounded well. I adjusted and tightened and that light is the proper brightness. However, the light just stays on when I flip the turn signal lever that way, and the left blinks kinda fast. I checked another flasher switch, but that seems to only affect the flashers which work fine.
I gave up for tonight, it's Hot and Humid out there! I sweat when I walk out the door!
Any suggestions? Turn signal switch? The connection looks good on the column. HELP!

What are your lights doing when you are in turn mode? Are the front and rear on and the right side but not flashing? What about the left side both bulbs flashing? Check rear light grounds also.

Problem is isolated to the front signal. Replace the bulb (and possibly the socket) as that is likely the problem. Dash indicators are tied to the front signal lights.

When I flip the right turn signal, both front and rear just stay brightly lit. No flash. The left side functions normally.

Make sure the bulb is seated properly in the socket. I just had this with my truck, the bulb needed to turn about a 1/8 of and inch..one contact on the bulb was touching both contacts in the socket.

I'm ready to pull my ******* hair out with this issue. New bulbs, NOS parking lamp assembly, steering wheel off and ******* with wires. NO blinking Rt. turn signal. Now it's just dim, before it just stayed bright. HELP!
