  • Vetter turn signal always on

    Noticed in the dark of the garage that the reason the left turn signal doesn't blink is because it is always on.

    Anybody have any ideas on this?

    Thanks

    Bob, is it the turn signal or the running light? It may have been wired wrong at the pigtail where it connects to the harness.

      Hey 3,

      I accidentally posted this here and then reposted it here....sorry I didn't respond to you sooner.

      It is the turn signal, I'm pretty sure. The left side is a lot brighter than the right unless the right signal is lit, when they then both have the same brightness. I guess I'll have to start playing with electrical...a scary thought.

        Yep, sounds like it's miswired or a there's bad ground/socket and one light is using the other for its ground. Electrical problems suck.

          Duel filament bulb? Take it out, turn it one 180 degrees, and put it back in. Don't ask me how I know this!
