SO my driver side front turn signal is acting up. Ive tried swapping bulbs, same issue. Tried swapping bulb holders, the issue persists. So i know its probably the wiring now... So i pulled out the voltmeter... Stuck the ground into the ground wire pin on the harness plug, and the positive into the left side positive pin on the harness plug (the locking mechanism is at the top, i couldn't see the wire color since it was dark) and i got 25.6V DC... This is supposed to be the DRL light on the corners. I'm not sure if it is supposed to be 25v... but i assume it shouldn't. I didnt have time to test the other side to see if it was also 25v
Then i kept the ground in the same middle pin and the positive to the right side pin on the harness, nothing happened so i assumed it was the turn signal. Popped on the turn signal and got the hyper flash since there was no bulb in. But anyway i pulled 12v off that. Couldn't really read accurately since it was going on and off so quick that the voltmeter hardly had time to read it. So based off the voltages (assuming the 25v is correct for DRLs...) I SHOULD be getting a DRL and turn signal. BUT i only get a DRL, the turn signal shuts off the DRL light when it is supposed to flash. When the DRLs are off and i try to signal, The DRL filament will come on instead of the turn signal filament (so its dim). I forget to test the voltage on the DRL pin and the turn signal pin with the DRL's off. Anyone had this issue before? Any ideas on what else to test? |

Solved! The turn signal pin on the harness side had the turn signal pin which broke off from the bulb holder side and stuck in the plug just barely bridging the turn signal positive to the middle ground pin. Further down the workmy harness there were some bite marks from a rat on all the turn signal wires. I assume those were how I somehow got 25v and the short in the harness plug was how my turn signal wasn't working...? Or the combination lol still don't know, but it's fixed
