A few days ago my hazards and right turn signal stopped working, replaced the flasher under the dash, and they started working fine. Shortly after, they stopped working again. Now I'm also noticing that my fender turn lights are always on, even when my lights aren't on.

Waddaya think guys?

 

It sounds like you may have a short in your turn signal switch. Check your brake lights and horn do they work ok? Does the left side work ok? When you say fender lights are always on, both sides? what about the rear?

 

The brake lights work ok, and the left side blinker works ok. Also, only the front right fender light stays on, so I don't think its a short in the turn switch. This is a real pain in the neck because it will work fine one minute, and the next all this stuff starts to happen.

I know this is hard to diagnose over the internet, but i appreciate any ideas! :-)

 

could be faulty contacts in your switch i dont know just a thought

 

Real hard to diagnose from here but my suggestion is to go to the front and rear turn signal composits and check each socket for corroision, check wires to the sockets for bad connections and check your grounds. If you havent done so already put a heavy duty flasher in it (552). When that fender light stays on it usually indicates a bulb out (a chrysler feature), make sure you also have the correct bulbs in it. I believe that they should be 1156 bulbs all around.

 

thanks guys, I will check out those connections tomorrow. just a quick update....when i step on my brakes, the parking lights in the front come on. :-I

 

Ok now I'm going back to maybe a bad turnsignal switch.

 

really? i gotta check out a schematic....

 

Have you checked all the grounds? Could be that it is making contact sometimes and then other times its not. Might be why they work then next day they don't.

 

Kinda foggy, but does your car have the brake light that is flashed when stopped, or a separate turn signal?

 

the blinker / brake light combo. i'm gonna trace the wire back from the brake switch and see what i see.

 

So you are flashing the brake light? If so, it is in the turn signal switch. It overrides the brake light circuit. In that set-up the out-put of the brake pedal runs back up the column, and the brake signal is interrupted by the flasher system.

 

thanks for the tip! do they still make those switches?

 

Geezus, you just want everything, dont you?!!! HaHaa! What car are we dealing with?

 

I'm high maintenance. What can I say? haha.
