when i noticed my girlfriend's left turn signal was flashing fast, i noticed that the front left turn signal wasn't working. i thought it was the bulb so when i put the left bulb onto the right side, i was right and it didn't work.

the tricky thing is, when i took the right bulb and put it on the left side, it still didn't work. i bought a new bulb and put it in the left side, and it still didn't work. and then i noticed that the left lowbeam doesn't work either. so in conclusion both the left lowbeam and left turn signal don't turn on and it's not the bulbs, i checked both

i looked at the fusebox under the steering wheel and checked the left lowbeam fuse and it's fine. i saw a fuse labled f r turn signal, if that means front right turn signal, then why isn't there a l r turn signal fuse. so i'm guessing that it's not a fuse problem

is there any fuses for the left light under the hood? her box has no labels

any other ideas for why the light isn't working, help is much appreciated, thankz

 

well what i would do is use a 12volt light tester and first check every fuse in the fuse box BOTH sides of the fuse for power... and if all are good i would say then pull off the light bulbs wire conector and test the wires.... if they have power when they are suposed to then it might be something as small as a ground wire... or maybe a cracked wire or a wire in the conector is just loose.....

 

Could be the ground wire to the lights up front on the left side. I think there are only 2 fuses, one for turn signals (right and left on the same fuse) and one for hazards (Try the hazard button and see if it blinks then). But there are probably 4 fuses for the headlights, high and low on each side.

 

well, i pulled the fuse out for the left low beam and put it in another slot to check if the fuse was okay and it worked there, so i know it's not the fuse

where would i buy a reliable 12v light tester for a cheap price and how do i pull the wires off the connecter, or do you mean just pull out the bulb and test under it??

and how do i test both sides of the fuse?? i don't see any holes around it or anything

 

anywhere? autozone, walmart, its a very basic tool!
its just 1 wire clip for ground and a metal spike on the other end which ya touch to the positive wire. very simple very effective. just DO NOT PROBE ANY WIRES with a yellow wire jacketing.LOL those are your air bag wires under the dash.

 

alright, i'll go to walmart and buy it tomorrow

even more problems now, for some reason the left lowbeam light, the dashlights, all other interior lights, and the dim brake lights along with the regular brake lightsdon't turn on until you hit the brakes. so pretty much, only the headlights work all the time and all the other lights only turn on when you hit the brakes

any ideas why
