Electrical question(i think?)
 

I have a 1993 del sol si. A while back i was on the freeway and my passenger side corner lense fell out lol. The wiring harness thing was still there, and i bought some clear corners. The bulb works, as in it works when the headlights are on, but the signal wont work. Anyone know why it would turn on with the headlights but wont blink when i use the signal? Somone said i may need a new harness, but that someone is usually full of ----. Any ideas?

Re:Electrical question(i think?)
 

Make sure the bulb has two filaments(sp).

Um, im pretty sure it is, the left turn signal works, but the right one doesnt, do i need a new harness maybe?

Re:Electrical question(i think?)
 

Why the hell would you need a new harness? Wasn't it working before?

Ya, that's why i don't uderstand it ???

Oh, also, when i use the turn signal the tail light blinks like a hyper blinker. Why would it do that?

Re:Electrical question(i think?)
 

it's probably not your ------- harness, check to see that the bulb has 2 filiments if it does then one might be blown, if it doesn't go get one that does.

hahah, that happened to me before with my 4th gen civic, i was racing a saturn on the 401 in ontario, and my drivers side clear corner flew off at 200kph, this was last year.

lol, It was depressing, i heard it bounce between my car and road for like 5 seconds.

Re:Electrical question(i think?)
 

its your bulb. it will blink fast when one of the ligts on taht side go out. Regardles if it is new bulb replace it and let us know.

Re:Electrical question(i think?)
 

Thanks. Always sticking up for the sol people ;D

Re:Electrical question(i think?)
 

lol

oh and if the beak light comes on after the you put the ebrake down its low break fluid. If the oil light comes on the engine is fucked, go buy another. If the bat light comes on its the alt or a short. if the seatbelt light comes on then remove the bulb;)

That was your 600th post! Are you happy? :P

Re:Electrical question(i think?)
 

holy ----, i just hit 500 a week or so ago! WOOHOO! lol

Re:Electrical question(i think?)
 

The bulb has 2 filaments, one might break not the other, then the parking light will work, but the blinker will not. change the bulb.

Re:Electrical question(i think?)
 

ok.. right blinker works, left doenst.. swap bulbs. If the left starrts to work and the right doesnt then get a new bulb. If the right works and the left still doesnt work (with the right sides good bulb) then you have to check a few things.

first. take the bulb out. turn your signal on. and test which prong/wire has 12v. If neither do then check fuse :) if one has 12v that means that your ground wire is messed up on that side. just splice in a new ground wire and attach it to the chassis somewhere.

I had a similar problem on my rex. 2 bulbs in the corner light one worked, other didnt but the bulb worked on the other side. Added the ground wire and worked since.
