Re: Turn Signal Lamp Replacement?
| John O | 25 Sep 2008 16:49 |
FYI....the problem is a connection, bulb is fine. I think it's the detachable connector to the bulb mount.
The lens assembly popped out when I pried on it. Sometimes it's nice having an old car...I don't worry about the finish so much. :-)

I suppose the trick is to 'encourage' that lens assembly a bit more firmly. Gently isn't the way, but I suppose that plastic is a little stiff after nine years.
Thanks Rick and Stephan, I appreciate your responses.

> Nobody knows how to replace a left front turn signal??? I tried searching > the web, no luck. Hi,
Did you search your owner's manual?
I know how to replace the left front turn signal on all the cars I own. Instructions have been in the owner's manual of every one. But I don't have your car...
Don't have the manual? Some are available from the mfrs online. Or you can order a hard copy from your dealer. You can also get repair manuals from Chilton's, Haynes and some mfrs. Even if the instructions another poster gave you do the trick, you should have "the book" in one form or another.
There are times "old school" is good. ;)

For a while now I've had a left turn signal acting erratic. Mostly a fast signal, sometimes slow with a short 'on' cycle, kinda seems to track with the idle speed, but not always. Right signal works fine.
Looking at the left front lamp in my driveway the bright light is good, but the dimmer one never lights. Is that the problem....a bad lamp?
I tried to get it out to test the bulb and check the socket, but can't figure it out without tearing apart the front end. This is a '99 OBW. The top screw is easy, but then what?? Are there online instrux somewhere? Or should I be looking at some other thing here?
