I have a 95 z28, and my left turn single is not working. Its not the light, i have checked that many times, Does anyone have any idea why this light could not be working right???

 

PLEASE post on the correct forum. "Turn Signal" does not belong on "LT1/LT4 Engine Tech". Moving to "General F-Body Tech & Info".......

 

Maybe a better explanation of what it is doing would help.

 

More info. would be good, but if you are sure its not the bulbs, my next best GUESS would be the turn signal flasher.

 

It has to be in the light somewhere becuase when you leave the turn single light on to the left the light in the cluster stays on. I then move back to the rear of the car and hit the tail light and it works, now this sounds like to me a loose wire but i took the tail light out and checked everything and it all looks good to me. Please help me out on this.

 

Bad bulb, corrosion in socket or bad socket.

 

Switch bulbs from side to side and see if the problem follows the bulbs. Sometimes bulbs can appear to be ok but are really bad.

 

You may have a bad ground circit in your taillight socket.
you can check it with an ohm meter.

Test between the black wire and the metal on the inside of the socket
(with the bulb out)
you should get a short or very close to 0 ohms.
if not the ground is bad and you will have to replace the socket.

Also check to make sure there is an open across the black wire and
the 2 metal strips on the inside of the socket,


and
here is the real thing

As already stated, its probably a bad ground...I had the same problem so I piggy-backed a new ground and now its fine.

 

i have a 94 and it had the same problem didnt happen all the time but same thing blinker on dash would stay on then i would get out and hit the light and it would come back on,pulled the bulb out and it was good but the connection on the inside where the bublb sit hads some dirt on it not much but enough too make the bubl work when it wanted too,
