Stanley Posted September 3, 2016 Share #1 Posted September 3, 2016 Right TS quit months ago. Tried sandpaper and VOM but no luck, no time to delve into it. Been using hand signal and being extra careful changing lanes. Now it's working again. Maybe the gremlins have seen the error of their way and are trying to make amends. A "new dawn" in the way mechanical things interact with us, maybe. There might be an explanation, but I've got nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Obvious Posted September 3, 2016 Share #2 Posted September 3, 2016 There's no magic. Don't worry... The problems will be back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freez74 Posted September 5, 2016 Share #3 Posted September 5, 2016 Lucky you, my left turn signal doesn't work, and I have been waiting for a year for it to fix itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley Posted October 15, 2016 Author Share #4 Posted October 15, 2016 C.O. was correct, problem back. Right T.S. only works part of the time (like me). Every time I've checked it while car was parked, if it clicked and the indicator light flashed, it was working. When the indicator flashed, but didn't click, it wasn't working.

zKars Posted October 15, 2016 Share #5 Posted October 15, 2016 Grumpy right hand turn signals are epidemic. it's one of two things. The first is the contacts in the switch need cleaning, or the tiny roll pin that forms the pivot for the TS arm is either loose or just about to fall out, making the switch hard to move far enough to get the contacts closed. Get creative and make a new pin that's a bit bigger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xenn Posted December 22, 2016 Share #7 Posted December 22, 2016 Do all lights blink if you hit the hazards? If so its not likely a wiring issue and it probably connected to the switch, I usually need to hold mine down to keep them going. If hazards are intermittent on one side its probably wiring, if hazards are intermittent on one light its likely the bulb about to die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSM Posted January 2, 2017 Share #8 Posted January 2, 2017 The other thing I noticed is if you take the fuse out, wipe each end with steal wool, lightly crimp each end of the fuse terminals and reinstall the fuse. This solved two of my issues. I'm running the old style fuses. I was scratching my head for hours trying to figure out what the heck was going on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurbycar32 Posted January 2, 2017 Share #9 Posted January 2, 2017 I'm betting you still have a problem but it reveals itself more when the circuit voltage is low. Before I fixed it my turn signals would stop working when the headlights were onSent from my SM-G930T using Classic Zcar Club mobile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stanley Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share #10 Posted January 3, 2017 Still works about half the time. Some good ideas in the recent posts, so I'll check when I have the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
