Ok I thought I had this fixed, but...
So my right side (whole side) signals no longer work again..
I had my relay rebuilt and most of my components (diodes, cap, ic) replaced and it did work for a week.
As of yesterday they no longer work again. The 4-ways work fine..
could I have a short of some sort ? if so why would the 4-ways work and not that side on its own?
just to make a 100% sure.. what number is on the signal relay ?
thankz

Definitely not a relay issue. If you relay was bad nothing would work. You possibly have a bad connection somewhere in the turn signal switch wiring or the switch itself is bad. The bentley tells you how to approach that one but its pretty in depth with taking out the fuse panel to probe stuff with a multimeter.

check the bulb holders thier known to fail and not give a good connection!

sounds fun :roll:
guess I'm going to have to brake down and order the bentley this week.
funny how it worked fine after swaping stuff out on the #60 relay.
but I can understand what you are saying.
As mentioned the 4-ways work 100% fine so I don't think it is a connection issue with the bolb mounts.

Wouldn't that also keep his 4 ways from working? I also forgot to mention AndrewSE that they are seperate circuits(kinda) and thats why your 4 ways work but the signal itself won't. I would think that there would be issues with the wiring or the switch that leads up to the relay. They share the same relay so it must be what ever activates it for that side.

I think it might be some sort of wiring issue.
now both sides no longer work..
left side I turn it on and i hear it clicking like crazy.. like a short or something..
also noticed the plug that connects to the base of the stearing wheel is cracked a little and one of the small plugs in the jack plug looks a little green. I know this is the plug ,since I removed it and no green light on the dash. Plugged it back and the green light on the dash returns.
going to look at it further when I'm done work.... long as the rain stops in S. ontario !

this exactly happened to me TOO!
i changed bulbs and pried the connectors back out as mentioned before and it fixed it except my left turn signal flashes like nuts (i think its just a dieing bulb but who knows) and my reverse lights no longer work (which i know is a seperate everthing because it reads from the tranny) i didn't do anything else extensive

good idea...
I managed to get the left side to work again.
I have to do some more pooking around to get the other side to work correctly, but I have a good idea what to look for now ! Thankz guys !
on a side note my car is currently in the process of getting my clean air test ! keeping my fingers crossed !
