I realize that this is going to sound pretty dumb BUT....... Take the turn signal apart, totally, and wire brush all the connections very well. It sounds like you are getting a feed back through the ground. Do the same with the headlights. Put a little dielectric grease on the bulbs before putting them back into the sockets.

When the headlights are turned on the right signal light comes on and stays on and does not flash Can someone help?

First thing is to check for a burnt out bulb in either the front or rear turn signal for the side that stays lit. Second, if the bulbs are fine then check for a bad turn signal fuse/cannister. Hope this helps.

89 Pontiac sunbird signal light stays on but does not flash?

If a signal light stays on, but does not flash on a 1989 Pontiac, there could be a light burned out in the turn signals on the exterior of the vehicle. It is also possible that the flasher unit has gone bad. The flasher unit is under the dash on the driver's side.

Are series circuit's used in car headlights?

No, series circuits are not used in car headlights, because if one headlight were to go out the other would also, because the one light would make an incomplete circuit. Headlights are wired as parallel circuits because when one headlight goes out, the other is unaffected and stays as bright as it was before the other light went out.

When your headlights are on your right turn signal does not work?

This may be a bad dual filiment bulb (1157,3057) dependin on year. Also the bulb may be in backwards. This is hard to do but is a possibility. If the signal indicator is on and stays on it is most likely a bad bulb. Otherwise you have a broken wire or a short in the lighting harness.


How do you know your turn signals are burning out?

You know a turn signal has burnt out when the light on the dash flashes very slowly, or just stays on until you cancel the signal. I don't think there is any way to know that it is about to burn out.


Why does myRight turn signal stays lit at all time?

In some vehicles, a consistently lit turn signal indicator dash light acts as an error message. What the light could be saying is that either the bulb is burnt out and needs replacing, or there is an error with the related fuse.


On the 1990 240sx the right turn signal light is staying on in the dash and when using the right blinker the hazzards come on and when you turn the lights on the back passenger turn signal stays on?

Sounds like you have a short in your wiring harness for your rear lights. As for your dash turn signal light, your dummy light is just acting up. You probably need a new wiring harness for your rear lights.

Sounds like you simply have A burned out bulb, Turn the signal on and look at all the lights to see if any are burned out. Could be A marker light if its in the turn signal circuit.
