Hey!
This should be an easy one for you guys! Signal light behaviour: part way
on my journey to the grocery store, my signal light indicator light (on the
dash), flashed once and then stopped. Looking back, I could see that the
rear signal light was flashing fast. I assumed that the front signal would
not be working, as I had seen behaviour like this with other cars when a
light was burned out. I was wrong! Both lights flash fast on the one side
and normal on the other side. (The right, is of course, right.) The dash
indicator did not burn out, as it will flash once every time I set the
signal switch. I could have sworn that I heard a noise (small 'doing') when
it first happened?? (This could be a red herring, as I am not sure, but
something made me look.)
Guesses?
Another bit of information, probably related, but I'm not sure. I had taken
the front signal light fixtures out this spring to clean them up and I
turned one of them upside down (or right side up) so that the flashing light
would be on the outside on each side. These lights had been tested before
recently. And I had tested them yesterday and verified that they worked.
Now for the really bad memory part. Now the clear light flashes on that
side and I could have sworn that the amber light did before?!? I did not
change any wiring. It would have had to for the safety check. But I can't
say for certain what I saw yesterday ... only that it seemed normal. I'm
scaring myself.
I know I'm going to embarass myself on this one. (Oh! I did already?)
