OK i am getting everything working on my fc so i can start driving her, My turn signals havent blinked since the engine was put in and i assumed it was because the rear bulbs were shot. I replaced the bulbs tonight and still nothing. None of the signals blink and the rears will not light up at all even with the hazard switch on. ANY IDEAS???

Icemark

does the hazard light switch work??

and fix your signature... 6 lines maximum.

BklynRX7

I dunno, the red light is on all the time but even if the hazard switch didnt work why wouldnt they blink when i signal? I thought it was 10 lines, you should post this ****.

the "computer" so to speak, that controls the turn signal, etc can be found on the driver's side, just about where your left leg would be. I think 2 phillips screws hold it in place....remove it, resolder the joints and pop it back in and you should be working again. I am assuming (without making an *** of myself) that you already checked the fuse associated with the problem.

BklynRX7

Im gonna sound like an *** right now but"theres a fuse for that" ill look into it.

Icemark

well the hazard light switch sends the signal to the same CPU and uses the same circuit as the Turn signals... so if the Hazard switch works, but the turn signal switch doesn't then the problem is in the turn signal switch.

But if neither the Hazard or turn switches work, then it is probably the CPU.

So do you now see why I was asking??? do you think I would waste time asking a question if it was not pertinent to the problem?

Not my rules... the administrators changed it 6 months ago, and it is posted in the FAQ for FC sticky thread, the FAQ for the board, and the Read before posting sticky thread.

Well is my hazard switch broken if the light is always on? ANd which box has the fuse if there is one?

ALso i read the faq and read before posting stickys when i joine dthe board i dont read them everytime i wanna post. i fixed it either way

OK i replaced the fuses today and everything works great. Silly me. he fuses I put in were too big though so imma have to change them tomorrow before sumtin goes wrong. Thanks

Hmm...why would the fuses blow?

BklynRX7

They wouldnt blow, thats the problem. Fuses are put in a circuit so that at a certain aperage they blow rather than the rest of the circuit being damaged. for example if your headlights cant handlle more than 20 amps you put a 15 amp fuse so it blows before it reaches 20. I put 30's in everything so if the aperage for some odd reason pases what it was before (15, 10) the curcuit can be damaged. get it?
