DRL / Blinker. Searched.

Post by flhmfd » Wed Nov 16, 2011 6:36 pm

My passenger turn signal bulb has been acting weird lately. I've blown 3 bulbs now in around 3 weeks.

For the longest time only the passenger side would signal, and light up as a DRL... but it would never light up when the headlights come on.

I know it's not the bulb. Any ideas other than the multifunction switch?

Grounds on the radiator support and on the aprons can cause something similar to that.

Frame aprons, where the engine bay PDC/Fuse box sits and on the passenger side where the washer fluid tank is. I'd make sure all of your grounds are clean. When I had a bad ground in the SRT it illuminated one bulb constantly regardless of if the switch was on or not.

Ok, sanded those grounds, checked all fuses under the hood, also checked the wiring to the light. Still won't come on.

Thoughts? This has been driving me nuts for years lol

Have you visually looked at the MFS to make sure no wiring is melted?
