Sideoftheroad Posted July 23, 2011 Share #1 Posted July 23, 2011 I recently switched out the clear for amber bulbs. On the way to the dealer for service I noticed that my signals were not working. So I pulled over and the rears were not lit at all but the fronts were acting like running lights. They were on, but would not flash when I flipped the switch to indicate I was turning. Any ideas what would cause this. I mentioned it to the service guy and (at my request) they said they would check to make sure a bulb hadn't come loose. Service guy said all was good, but I checked the signals before I left and they are working again. To me it seems like a bulb was loose after all. What do you guys think?

muaymendez1 Posted July 25, 2011 Share #5 Posted July 25, 2011 Try turning the bulbs 180 degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyinfool Posted July 25, 2011 Share #6 Posted July 25, 2011 That was my thought. The bulbs can be put in bassackwards or not aligned correctly (aka, loose). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideoftheroad Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share #7 Posted July 25, 2011 If I remember right the part that sticks out from the bulb base, I installed the one that is higher up towards the back of the housing. What you are saying is I might have them in backwards? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muaymendez1 Posted July 26, 2011 Share #9 Posted July 26, 2011 They can be forced in to lock at 180 degrees which will turn them into running lighst and not blink or backwards. Im not 100% sure but i know my left turn signal wasnt blinking. i pulled it out cleaned the moisture put it back in and it lit but it wouldnt blink. now the right bulb wasnt on so i looked closer and my turn fillament was burnt but by putting the bulb in 180 degrees it would turn on as a running light but still no turn signal. Hope i made some sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
