Turn signal problem 1993 1.6L

Post by ryant26 »

My problem is that my right signal does not always work. Sometimes I try to turn it on and I can hear the ticking but the cluster arrow does not light up, when the cluster arrow does not light then the actual signals do not light as well. When the cluster arrow does not illuminate I can hear the ticking very very quickly. Sometimes if i leave the signal on for a while or just randomly when i turn it on it will work properly.

Just recently I did take the tails off and i might not have put that bulb in snugly if that does not solve the problem anyone know where else i should check? Also would a loose rear bulb cause the cluster arrow to not light up?

There are a few things but start with the simple stuff, replace the signal bulbs, once thats done if the problem persists change the signal relay.

Thanks, turns out the bulbs are fine, I took apart the signal relay today cleaned it of some dust that was in there and now everything seems to be in working order.
