    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Think I may have blown the turnsignal relay

The bulb burnt out on the signal and before I put the new bulb in I toyed around with the wiring with the battery connected. What happens when they go out? Now neither front or back lights and the relay buzzes. Does this mean I may have screwed it up? Where can I order one? Please tell me this isn't a dealer only part :(

Thanks, Ed
 
If you're just talking about the flasher unit pick up one of the $2 auto flashers at any auto parts store.
 
Cool, thanks. So if the relay doesn't fix the problem, what else could I have shorted out?
 
OK now I know it can't be the flasher, because there is only one flasher and the left side signals light and flash. The 10A signal fuse in the block is good. The bulbs are good on the right side and now the flasher just buzzes (or clicks very fast) and neither front or rear signals light on the right side? What could be wrong here? :?:
 
The flasher could very well be bad. Just because one direction works doesn't mean it is good. But from what you are saying it is possible you have a bare wiring shorting somewhere. Back trace your steps and see if you can see any wires that are bare, pinched or shorting out in any other way. Or maybe a loose or corroded connected that got wiggled around and is now the bad guy. If it all checks out I would think it is the flasher. I have a bad one in my Chevy right now :) Just need to pop the new one in. I have left turn but not right. It is the flasher. I tried one from a friends car at work and it fixed it. I just need to pop my new one in now.
