ZR8ED Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 I was doing some work on the Z the last two days. I had my front left turn signal doing strange things. It would light up with the running lights. It would flash when i turned on the left signal BUT when it flashed, it flashed OFF. It did not flash and get brighter (it should flash and get brighter) I cleaned all the connections. Didn't fix. I checked for power all the way to the bulb connector. still no good. I then tried the right side connector. It didn't work properly either. ????? Ok so the wiring on the car was messed up? I ASSUMED the ground was good because the light would still light as needed either for signalling or parking lights. WRONG!!!! Lots more tinkering, and discovered the ground was not good ENOUGH. I poprivited a small blade connector directly to the bulb holder chassis, and attached a fresh groundwire, and wired it to the body. Light works normally! Warning. Do not assume you have a good ground, just because you have a ground. Whew. Another "assumption" lesson. Scott. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naviathan Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 Oh so true. And never assume you have a clean ground just because you don't hear it in the speakers either.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
