Electrical Issues

[kingdave9]

Hi there,

When I have my headlights on and I put my turn signal on and then go to turn it off (turn signal) my clock light flickers very bright. This happens once every 3 times apx.

I've also had one instance where I was backing up, had my turn signal on... and my ecu fuse blew.

I went through the engine bay and resurfaced all the grounds.

The ecu fuse has not blown since, but my clock still flashes really bright for a split second apx. every 3rd I have my headlights on and I'm turning off my turn signal.

I have no idea where to look or what to replace, can anyone help me with this?

Thanks!

Dave

did u check and make sure your fuse box is tight and the ground even check the main fues bos and the ground some times they get lose

Check your relays for any short circuits.

Thanks for the replies.

david17: I'm going to check that out shortly!

Check your relays for any short circuits.

Is there a guide on how to do this? I'm googling it right now but don't seem to be having much luck.

get a wiring diagram and follow it. you should be able to find power and ground,shorts to ground or power with a DVOM or test light. if you are going to use a dvom your best bet is to use a FLUKE. and check for continuity. but without a diagram your going to be chasing and guessing unless someone else a more low key less technical of doing it.

i hate dealing with electrical

I found the ground wire by the fuse box right beside my clutch was loose.

I made sure it was making good contact but the issue still persists.

However I'm starting to wondering if I'm just dealing with a bad turnsignal/headlight switch.

I noticed (when the clock flickers) the light on the clock only gets as bright as it is when your headlights are turned off.

I could also get the flickering to occurring by slowly turning the headlights on...and then turning the switch back ever so slightly...
