I purchased a turn signal assembly from a member and it has only 2 wires instead of the usual 3.
It would mean it doesn't have blinker. Anyone come across this??

 

I'm not 100% but aren't the turn signals in our cars single filament bulbs. Meaning it should only have 2 wires. It only goes on and off, it shouldn't stay on while it's blinking. If it were a parking light/turn signal it would have 3 wires, 1 to run the parking lights when you turn them on, 1 to blink the second filament for the blinker and 1 as a ground. But, since it is only an on/off bulb it only has the feed for the blinker and a ground. Maybe somebody can back me up with some technical info from a wiring diagram perhaps.

 

I've never seen a harness with 2 wires. They're all 1157 dual filament bulbs for running lights and blinker.
So 1 for ground, 1 for running lights and 1 for blinker.

 

is it a front or rear assembly? I am assuming front since it is a separate assembly. In which case your right their should be 3 wires, I was referring to the rear blinker wiring harness, that assembly uses only 2 wires a black and green. Maybe you got the wrong wiring harness, maybe he gave you the side marker hardness with the front signal housing.

 

No, they're front signal assembly. Can't be mistaken for any other.
I don't know what he sold me. It's exactly like an S4 front signal minus the blinker wire.

 

my jdm turn signals only have 2 wires...i believe the other wire is for the driving lights. i have the other wire going to the jdm ftp's to accomplish the same thing.

 

The front turn signal bulb has two filiments because it is also a parking light. The rear turn signal bulb has only one filament because it is only a siganl light.
