Question Please Help Me!!

Hey guys,

I'm looking for a little help w/ a lighting problem. My day-time running lights and front turn signals seem to be all messed up. First the driver side turn signal got water in it and neither the daytime running light or the turn signal worked. So I replaced the socket and the Daytime running light started working but the turn signal stopped and the passenger daytime running light stopped all of a sudden and the turn signal worked. I replaced the passanger bulb and the daytime running lights then worked but neither signal did. I then replaced the turn signal canester under te dash and now the signals work in the back but not the front.

Currently I no longer have Daytime running lights or front turn signals or front flashers. I looked at the schematics and it seems as though the day time running light module may be the cause. The GM dealers near me are ****** and no can give me a straight answer and just tell me its expensive. My NYS inspection ran out the end of June and i need signals to get a new inspection.


I am wondering if any one has encountered this problem or if they have any ideas for a temp fix just to get it inspected.
I am sorry if this is a re-post.....I havent been on here in a while and havent had much time lately to do ne research. I thank you guys in advance for any ideas or comments

The canister you speak of... I assume you mean the flasher? Did you use an EL12 as the replacement? Also, which flasher did you replace? Which bulbs did you use to replace the front turn signals? 3157, I'd hope?

The canister i speak of was the turn signal canister, there are 2 under the dash one for the turn signals and one for the flashers.....the flasher one was fine but the turn signal ones did not click when u turned them on.........I have replaced both front bulbsabout 5 times and yes w/ the appropriate bulb. I have narrowed it down to a wiring problem in either a module or a ground. Thank you for your post


The problem is still there guys ne one have ne more ideas??
