left blinker not working correctly 1980 spider

Post by sigkadetm »

With the headlights on the right blinker works correctly and the dash indicator shows the green light blinking. When I switch to the left blinker the light doesn't blink at all. With the headlights off the right blinker is fine but when I switch to the left blinker it blinks on the outside but the green indicator blinks once and quits. All the bulbs are fine. Any help would be appreciated.

Morning,

I had the same issue and resolved it by replacing the two-pin connector that goes to the turn signal bulb. They are inside the engine bay, just follow them back from the bulbs.

That same weekend I also installed a headlight relay kit. Not sure which of these methods actually fixed the issue.

Cheers

Are you talking about the two pin connector that goes to the front bulb under the bumper? I also have the headlight kit. Works good.

No, it's just a two pin wire-to-wire connector. In the engine bay.
