Today I noticed that my left turn indicator was out while the right was still on (when low beams are turned on for night time driving). At first I thought it was because of a dead bulb...but when I flicked on the left turn signal...the left indicator blinked as usual...
In other words, when not signaling....only right indicator is on (when both is expected to be on but not blinking) signal left...left blinks signal right...right blinks any ideas why this may be? -------------------- |

the solder points on the bottom of one of your turn signal bulbs might be melted flat and connecting to each other, either that or I've seen the inside of the bulb short out somehow and it connects the two circuits.
If your solder points are melted together on the bottom of the bulb then check all of your ground connections. A bad ground will cause the bulb to generate more heat at the contact points, and it ends up getting hot enough to melt the solder and connect the two circuits. If this is your problem then fix your ground. Either way, it sounds like you need to replace one of your bulbs. -------------------- -Jay
