Front driver side signal

[shawnyb35]

Stuck and can’t figure out what’s going on. Front driver side signal will not flash when I have my headlights on. Works perfectly fine when the lights are off. Cleaned the ground wire in front of the gas tank hoping that might help but had no change. Appreciate any suggestions. Thanks

Check for wrong bulb, or bulb that is incorrectly installed.

Thanks for the advice. I swapped the working bulb from the other side and it still did not flash.

What did you do before this started happening? All the turn signial bulbs need to be the same wattage (it say's on your relay what that is I think 23w).

The signals have been like this since I purchased the car.

Compare the wiring of the wirking side to the non working side (if the parking light and turn signal wires are switched the watts will be wrong). Wiring diagrams are at top of page under Technical/type1/wiring diagrams/your year.
Make sure the contacts and side ground in the socker are clean and shiny.

Get your multimeter out. Start at the light and trace it back to the relay, switch, and fuse box.
