240sx Turn signal problem

[Tabikarasu]

Ok so I recently replaced my old Turn signal switch for a brand new one, all of my lights work except... When I use my left turn signal the front and back work but when I use my right one the front stays lit and doesn't blink but the back one blinks rapidly. Not sure how I could fix this, any help is appreciated.

you and i may have the same problem. my problem-

left turn signal is is dim and blinks rapidly

right turn signal is bright and blinks rapidly when headlights are down, but they stay lit when they are up and dont blink.

also i dont know if this is related or not but i have to smack my steering column to get my left head lamp to work sometimes...

hope nico can help our problems.

Make sure you have the correct bulbs in place ,check your grounds and sockets.

I fixed my problem, apparently the previous owner soldered the copper lines together in the headlight bulb fixture then covered them with electrical tape. That was causing them to short fuse which is why the left headlight would sometimes work and sometimes not until I moved it around in place. Well I replaced the clip for the headlight with one that wasnt ripped up and now they work wonderfully. Hopefully it is the same part cause that is an easy fix if you get lucky and find one at a junkyard (one that works that is) Good luck!
