blinker

Post by fiat218 »

all lite works/ blinker did work till i put in the interior.but that life. is there a inline fuse some place on the 80 2000. i read that it possible that there is one. all fuses are good other then that


i have here is my speedo gauge, i know this has nothing to do with the blinkers but i will use the same tread
any ways u will see a wire coming off the gauge, i wonder what it is , never seen one before and it was not hooked to anything that i am aware of

it counts for the Exhaust Gas light (I think it is 30,000 miles or so??)on the dash to come on to replace the o2 sensor, there is a button in the VDO counter unit that resets the count and therefore the light, I have had mine butchered as previous owners were not aware of this..

if one bulb is burnt out or just not working, would that effect the whole circuit for the blinkers? i have not check the bulbs yet
i think the blinker work separate bulb in the back or no?

Possible problems with blinker malfunction given what you were doing when it stopped working.

1. Accidentally disconnected the Turn signal flasher
2. Accidentally disconnected the Hazard switch
3. Blown fuse (#1 also controls all of your gauges, so that isn't likely the culprit)

A bad light bulb would only affect either the right or left turn signal but not both. Check to see if it is only one side that isn't working. Also, check your hazard lights. If they also don't work, you'll probably find that the hazard switch or a ground got disconnected under the dash.

Thanks to this forum, my blinkers work
I was just reading and puzzled in why they have stopped working
Well here the hazards button pop out long ago,I was told a quick fix,shove a tooth pick in along side of the button and keep in pushed in, I done that,works great, well lord behold I lost my blinkers and here as I read this forum for days,come to see that it possible that the tooth pick was in the wrong place. Hahaha, what the hell. Anyways now I move this silly tooth pick over AND Blinkers , thanks to whoever note that I read it on
