Turn signal gremlins


Recommended Posts

Hey gang

 so my 87 4. auto is experience some electrical weirdness. When i hit the turn signal arm for either direction both indicators  flash on the dash board -  its happened once in the past but  seemed to go away after playing with the bulbs but not this time. The proper / corresponding rear turn signal lights (both bulbs in each tail lens) will each come on when i flip the right /  left  direction for the turn signal indicator -  however both the fronts light up regardless if the right or left is utilized. I pulled all the bulbs and reinserted them and the filaments come on and all look OK - any suggestions what i am missing as i'm sure its something simple but damn if i can figure it out

 

thx as always!

thx for suggestion stroker - it was pretty grimy, but even after cleaning it out and putting fresh ox-guard in it, it still was malfunctioning - even with that connector unplugged both dash turn signal lights blink (tail light signals working fine) but of course the front signals don't get activated

 

weirdness... 

 

 

Check the front lighting connector at the core support near the air box , it's known for creating weird issues . Also make sure that you are using the 2057 bulbs the truck calls for .

haha

read some old threads about the fuse relays in the fuse box so switched them and the results were the same.... so figured wasn't a bad relay

 

put the relays back in there original spots and low and behold the turn signals operate correctly -  f'n jeep - but glad it works and now if it happens again i will look deeper as thinking one of the contacts on the signal relay panel of the fuse box is not up to snuff...

 

thx!
