Turn Signal Light Doesn't Work, but the Brake Light Does

Most vehicles use a single lamp [bulb] for the tail light, brake light, and turn signal functions.

That lamp usually has two filaments: one serves both the tail light and brake light functions while the second filament serves the turn signal function.

You description of the issue sounds like the turn signal filament is burned out, while the other filament is not.

Another, but less probable cause could be that the conductor [wire] supplying electrical power to the right turn signal filament has either been cut, or corrosion has built up within one of the wiring harness connectors somewhere in that circuit. Corrosion acts to cut off the flow of electricity.

Why does tilt steering affect turn signals and brake lights on 02 ford ranger?

The turn signal wiring goes up the steering column. Turn signal bulbs are also used as brake lights and the brake light signal goes through the turn signal switch. If there is a loose connection or worn wire in the steering column, the tilt would cause problems.

How does the wiring run for a back right turn signal on a Plymouth voyager 1992?

the turn signal switch sends current to the turn signal flasher. it then goes to the bulb. The turn signal switch will turn on the turn signal and when the brake is applied it cancels out the brake light as it is a duel element bulb. 1 element is for brake and turn and the other is for parking lights. you can not have a blinker and a constant feed to the same element of the bulb at the same time.

Brake lights do not work all the time replaced brake light switch?

If you have the same bulb for brake and signal, brake light power needs to be interrupted by the signal lights, The brake circuit has to go through the signal light switch so the problem could be there.


Brake on passenger work not passenger when you brake when turning signal lights are used either left or right it works..just when driving and braking left side not working?

I'm guessing you're talking about your turn signal light. From what you wrote I think I'd have to say it sounds like a bad turn signal switch. The brake lights run through the turn signal switch on mostly all vehicles.
