Turn Signals?! Wtf... hey guys, wasnt sure really where to put this, but here is goes. Okay, so randomly while im driving, i relize neither of my turn signals are working correctly. The orange lights are on, but when i click on the turn signal, like to turn right or left, the light just lights up and stays on, it doesnt flash... So I tried the hazzard lights, and they flash like normal, no problems there. I just changed the bulbs so i know its not them, even since they still light up. Im thinking maybe a fuse? Im going to check the fuses tomorrow, but i was just wondering if anyone might know specifics on this before I go on a scavanger hunt, thanks.
The same thing just happened to me a few weeks ago. I changed the relay and it fixed the problem...for a few hours. When the turn signals come on and dont flash I just wiggle the relay and they work for a little bit. I'm thinking I have a loose connection somewhere. Where do the wires go after they come off the relay.

Dear SEMP3RFI the problem you are having is very simple. One of your light bulbs are burnt out and just turn on your turning signal on each side and look around your vehicle
and you should see some of your bulbs are burnt out. If you have more questions e-mail
me at rzeszotarski10@hotmail.com.

my right turn signal has the same problem, but my right side drl is also burnt out. if i just change out the bulb will my blinker work again or is it a problem with the blinker? dont mean to hijack the thread.

check all your bulbs with turn signals on, and i'm pretty sure DRLs are different then the turn signal. my bulbs burn out immediately if i put in the apc colored blue bulbs. ambers are fine though? i'm trying led's next
Turn indicators and running lights are the same bulb; however, turn indicators run off a different circuit, with a relay in the circuit (that damn "clink-clink-clink you hear every time you turn on an indicator). Stock bulbs have two filaments, one for the DRL's, one for turn indicator. To check you'll have to pull the offending bulb's holder and visually inspect the bulb. Not too hard, the access panel for the front indicator is directly in front of each tire, a 10mm socket will get the screws out. Then, reach up to the back of the signal housing and screw out the holder, it's a twist and pull type holder, grey with two wires coming out the back. PM me for more detailed instructions; I changed out the entire turn signal assemblies on the wife's 01 WS6 a few months ago.

Alright, so this is what i found out while screwing around yesterday. My left blinker, doesnt blink at all, it stays on, but wont blink, even when i turn the hazzards on. ive come to the decision that its the nasty coroded socket that the bulb is in.. Im going to try and clean it out, if not, im going to have to splice a new one in, i'll let you know my course of action when im done.
