Turn Signal Failure

[04gtdrop]

Ok, so I’m driving to lunch and I notice my turn signals don’t click or flash anymore. I have sequential turn signals, I park and get out checking them, ALL of the bulbs light up, they do the sequential thing, then stop. They don’t keep going. The front bulbs stays steady also, no flashing. On the Speedo/cluster, the signal stays steady also. When I put the hazards on they work and keep going, but the individual signals don’t. Anyone else have this problem? Blown fuse? Sequencer go bad? Please help, thanks guys.

you need to refill your blinker fluid reservoir.

Which module for your sequentials did you use? Sounds like you just dropped a connection or something came loose.
Wouldn't hurt to check all your marker and flashing lamps, too.

Wow, that's really helpful. streetstang03 for administrator? Pleeeeaaasssseee...
04GTdrop, sounds like the relay or sequencer went south on ya.

hmm ok, well i guess i'll have to go check all the connections after work tonight. Thanks for your input git-it-83,

does anyone else think that it could be something else? any other thoughts? i'm not off work till about 8:00 (CA time). so i got some time before i can go mess with it.

twogts4us,

could it just be lose or it went bad? how do i check this?

the sequencer came with the kit to install it. Where can i get another sequencer like it or know which one is correct? thanks

the turn signals relay tends to get stuck (it's turning into a common problem) you can open it up and fiddle around with the connections where it connects. I've done it before on my GT twice

No problem. I suggest always started from the simple and free solutions and going from there. Do you know the brand of sequential signals you have? If anything, pull one of the parts you have and someone here can ID it if you can post a photo.

Tommustang, ok thanks for the tip. I'll try to look at it and maybe fix it tonight.

git-it-83: I got the kit on ebay. i just went on there to try and find the seller, does look like he is selling anything on ebay right now. Then i tried to go through my feedback and find him like that, didnt work. It was purchased too long ago.

But it was a "one of a kind" kit, cuse it was kind of home made, but it was sealed with like silicone or something to keep water out. it goes behind the trunk liner.

hope this helps, i hope i can fix it soon. i would hate to have turn sig's that dont work.....


edit: does anyone know where you can buy flashers? i know i could prob find them online, but locally, where could i find the flasher that i need? what kind of store? thanks

If both tail lights sequence OK with the hazard switch on, then the sequencer modules are good.
You may have said so and I missed it, but I assume both left and right turn signals have the same problem. About the only thing common to both is the flasher, located behind the instrument panel just above your right knee. You should be able to buy a new one at an Autozone store.

 

[timeless2]

I worry about buying some "home crafted" kits of anything purchased on eBay.

Right, the next things to check are your flasher unit (underneath the cluster: get ready for yoga poses) and the actual relays themselves (under the hood).

Until you get it fixed can you manually move the turn signal lever to flash your turn signals manually?

You probably need to get a new sequential kit or return it to stock.

ok guys, thanks for all the input. when i went out to my car after i got off they were working, i was like WTF? so i looked at the stuff in the trunk by my tail lights, everything was ok. then as i was driving they did it again. so i was like man, WTF????

pulled over, found the flasher. some how it came lose from its "holder" place. and pushed it in to see what would happen, it didnt feel like it moved but when i tried the turn signals again they worked, so it looks like my sequncer thing wasnt in all the way. so i found my problem. i was too tired to try and fix it last night. so one of the days this week, i'll get it put back into its holder thing-a-ma-jiggy.

thanks for all you input guys.

Glad we could help. See, it doesn't hurt to start from square one! The simple things are what get past our over-thinking minds.
