Help Help Turn Signal Problems

May 24, 2004 2 Replies
98 Chevy S-10 P/U 4CL 2WD Hi I posted a few days ago about a turn Signal problem. Here's what I've tryed so far with no luck.

The Right turn signal is blinking fast so it's acting like the bulb is burned out. Got new bulbs but, still not working. Checked the bulb port with a multimeter and the wires from the right side to the post connector under the Left side of the P/U all check out ok the wires are good. Checked the wires from the port to the fuse box on the drivers side it was #10 fuse port that check out ok. The Turn/Flasher Relay is clicking so I assume it's not that? I have just run out of was to check this out. The brake light and turn signal are the two things not working, turning on the reg. lights... it comes on. It just won't blink or bet bright when I hit the brakes. I've been trying to figure this out foe about 2 wks. I just don't want to take it to the shop and pay $$$ for something that's going to be simple to fix or so I thought... LOL. Any help would be great, and thanks.

I had a similar problem with my '97 Sierra... Take a very close look at the bulb socket brushes... I will bet you that at least one of the brushes looks charred (burnt). I figured that there was poor contact going on between my bulb and the brushes...enough so to arc and char the brush. I forget what I used to clean the burnt brush...I think I just scraped it with a swiss army knife...then I bent it out just a little bit so that it would make strong contact with the bulb...be careful not to break the brush.

my .02

try janking on the hazard switch a couple of times... there could be a bad contact in there, there is even some kind of recall on these... post the last 8 of your vin if you want me to check for open recalls..
