turn signal problem

onefast1 said

OK checked every fuse in the holder and had signal on and had power on both sides of fuse, was only checking stop and taillight fuses from the beginning then when I got to the radio fuse checked one side then checked other side when I touched it with the meter it started flashing, cleaned up connections and all is GOOD! My bad just never thought to check the radio fuse! I really appreciate all the help guys a Really big THANK YOU to all the guys that posted on here.

Getting it repaired is not the end. The end is when you understand why it did not work. Then you will recognize a similar problem in the future. You had a poor connection. The connection would not carry the load of the turn signals front and rear as well as the brake light. The resistance at the poor connection goes up as the load increases, resulting in more voltage lost and less voltage downstream in the circuit.

The voltage available at the lights should be essentially full system voltage and full voltage drop should be measured across the light, meaning from the positive to the negative on the bulb socket. If there is a bad connection anywhere in the circuit, that will cause a voltage drop. Any of those unwanted voltage drops are a loss of voltage available at the bulb. If the system is at 14 volts and you have a poor connection that causes a 6 volt drop in the circuit, then your bulb is only going to get 8 volts. It does not matter whether the poor connection is on the positive side or negative side of the circuit. Any voltage lost in the circuit is voltage not available at the bulb. This applies to any load, not just bulbs.

Now get a wiring diagram, learn to read it and you are all set. Thanks for posting the fix.
