right turn signal doesn't flash, stays steady... left is fine

[baxtej44]

went to turn right today and i didn't hear my "click click click click" of the signal blinking... i look down at my instrument panel and the right turn arrow is just lit up, not flashing. check it when i get home, the front and rear just stay solid, no blinking.


the left is working just fine, blinks inside the cab, and outside.


i'm thinking maybe the actual lever is going bad maybe?

You most likely need a new flasher relay not a lever.

 

[baxtej44]

how do i gain access to that?

I know on my old 92 Tempo the flasher relay was just in the fuse box under the dash. Should look similar to this if I am correct.

I could be wrong though. Gotta Haynes manual?

It'll be in the fuse box under the dash

the same thing happened to my pontiac grand am. have you checked to make sure all turn signal lights still work.
once i replaced my bulb it started working.

If the flasher is working in one direction and not the other, you most likely have a burned out bulb. When a flasher goes out it usually will not flash in either direction.

i guess i will try looking at bulbs tonight, but i'm pretty positive when i checked today i could see both right lights working.

i know for sure the front, the rear was harder to see i guess, but this is also in broad daylight... i will check tonight

it seems to me all bulbs are working fine.


the driving light is the one that blinks for the turn signal in the back, and both rear tailight driving lights work.

the right one just doesn't blink.


i didn't check out the fuse panel, it's too dark. still a possibility for that fuse?

 

[baxtej44]

bump?

The brake light is suppose to flash for the rear turn signal not the running lights.

The brake light is suppose to flash for the rear turn signal not the running lights.

i think mine are wired up so that running light is the brake light?


my tail light assembly has two bulbs, one at the top in a larger compartment, and one in the bottom in a smaller compartment.


obviously the one at the bottom is reverse, possibly more? i say it's reverse because that is where the clear plastic is to show off a "white reverse light".


i could be wrong, but this is what i remember.

you have a duel fillament bulb for your breake/running light the smaller fillament is always the brighter sooo that would be your brake light

okay, i just replaced both upper bulbs in my tail light assembly, they both worked fine at first, not sure i want to spend more money on a light bulb (even though it's not much) if it's just going to blow again....


if i remember right, one of the tail lights was brighter, and it should be the left one, correct? since one of my filaments is broken/not working?
