Hello all, I'm having a problem with my signal light, yeah light...the light turns on but does not signal (this being the left). The right side works perfectly fine but the left one won't signal, I know it's not the bulb because I tried two new bulbs on it. Could it be the wire or the circuit board? Please help. If there are any other ideas please do say soemthing. Thank you all

Check your connections. Do you have a FSM or a wiring diagram manual. I think a Haynes repair manaul will even do it. Not sure.

Yes I do have the Haynes Manual but I'm not sure, I'm concluding that it's the circuit board but I don't want to just rely on my feeling.

You are speaking of the relay correct?

You are talking about the actual trun signal or the indicator lamps in the dash? From what I read, you are talking about the turn signal light (outside the car). On pretty much every car, they use relays to turn the lights off and on. I would check those because they can go fairly easily.

I am really not sure where the relay is for the turn signal. I would think that it would be one of the relays up front by the hood latch. There are 4 I think up there. Lemme go check real quick.

I cant reach mine right now (long story), but it is one of them up there. Theres nothing in the interior that does anything except for the CPU on the driver side kick panel. All that does is make the clicking sound when you turn the turn the signal on. With the CPU disconnected, the signales still work, so it cant be that.



I would just check the relays up front. Just do some voltage tests with a multimeter and see whats going on.



Good luck
