Just to be clear, I didnt mention any names

Well, I'm stunned. After less than 2 days my right turn signal has already burnt out once again. I noticed that it did the same thing as last time - the turn signal's response slowed down, and the intervals between each blink took longer. I talked to my friend and he thinks it's a bad ground somewhere. This is getting to be such a pain in the ***. Does anyone else agree with this?

try changing the flasher. its under the dash on the drivers side, to the right of your steering column and just to the left of the radio. if you go to any autoparts store go to the isle with the flashers. its the one with the 12 in the part number. you can either get the thermal or the electronic. the electronic are by far the better of the two. mine was EL12

Would that be causing my bulb to burn out (so quickly, at that), or 'blow up'?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me when you figure it out. I go through about 4 a month. At $4.99 it makes me mad. I had cracked lenses letting water in but I fixed that. The ONLY thing I found that helps is get dielectric grease and put a TON of that in the socket and the bulb end. Kinda cleared up for a little bit. But it is just a matter of time..... I keep a new package of bulbs in my car all the time, and the 10mm wrench for the access door bolt.

after the first couple times it went out, I said F it, and left it burnt out for over a month. Then 2 days ago I finally decided to fix it, and it burnt out already. So im leaving it out. I can always manually blink it, and the rear one will still work.

As kind of an update on this, if anyone is paying attention still...

My friend and I tried to look for any leverage yesterday.. Since I havent got a chance to do everything mentioned in this thread, but I did get a chance to check some things yesterday. The alternator/batter charge is fine. The charge in the bulb socket is not higher/lower when the light is solidly on or as a signal. My friend and I tried diagnosing the stereo problem a little further, but the problem is so persistantly random that is nearly impossible to make judgements of anything.

Maybe this info will help someone of greater knowledge to determine some problems that it could/could not be. Hey, at least I got to replace my turn signals again... But the right one went out already lol.. 12 hours this time. :/. Anyways, Thanks in advance.

I forgot to mention this, and its kind of a big deal. When my friend and I were testing my car, I had it running in the garage so my low beams were turned on automatically, but heres the weird part... Whenever I switched to high beams the low beams stayed on, so they were on at the same time. Now I know theres a mod on how to do this, but how exactly do you do that? Cause that would explain at least one problem hopefully.

Thw low beams beams are supposed to stay on with the high beams.

paarman97maro

I always thought they switched off. I swear I read somthing a few months ago about how someone wanted a mod to make their low beams stay on when their high beams were on?

archemedes

isn't it a relay?

paarman97maro

Arch, are you speaking of the mod that allows your headlights to do that? Im not sure what it was, that does sound a little familiar though. Chris, are you sure that they are both supposed to be on at the same time? I guess I always thought it just switched, but Im probably wrong, Ive never really looked at my brights afterall.
