Turn Signals?
« on: June 15, 2005 - 03:17:24 PM »
Okay guys i repainted my dash and it looks great... hooked up everything and checked... everything works great just like it did except the turn signals and the tail lights dont come on when the lights come on... they DO come on when i brake though...

What did i miss?

Ray

Thanks

Ray,
  I'm sorry, I need more clarification. The brake and turn signal light are the same filament. The parking light is one until itself(independant). In your post, are you saying when you turn on the headlights, nothing happens in the back until you hit the brakes???

Yeah...

When i turn the lights on (WITHOUT THE BRAKE) there is nothing...

As soon as i hit the brake the brake lights come on...

I want the tail lights to come on when the headlights come on regardless of whether im hittin the brakes or not (they are only on when i hit the brakes)

Also my turn signals do not work at all...

Ray,
  Can I assume all was working before??? If so, all that is giving you trouble is in a ribbon cable coming down your steering column. Maybe you haven't gotten it firmly connected??? Trust me, I know it's a pain, but if that isn't firmly in place, that might be your problem.

Actually there are 2 ribbon cables that travel down the steering column. The one comes from your turn signal switch. I'm thinking maybe you didn't plug it back in all the way??? They both attatch to other ribbon cables under your dash.
