Title: Blinkers Front left; Electrical fault in circuit
Post by: y.akilamad on April 29, 2022, 04:28:09 am
Hello,

First of all apologies if there’s already a topic out there on this, was unable to search. My left turn signal (headlight signal) has suddenly stopped working. At first I thought it was just a bulb gone bad. Bought 2 new bulbs but still no luck. I have no clue what the issue might be. It still flashes on the dashboard but the bulb just doesn’t work same thing with my hazard, flashes on my dashboard but the indicator left bulb just doesn’t flash at all. I plugged it into vcds and this issue came up. Please could someone help me out as I’ve had this issue for several months now. Thanks

First thing to do it see if you are getting 12v to the indictator  pin on the headlight loom connector. I'll presume you'll find you don't have but you need to start somewhere and that's where I would start.

So I’ve checked and I am actually getting power to the indicator

Hmm. Strange. Are you using OEM headlights and ‘standard’ bulbs?
