hey everyone! my friend has this exact same problem so i was wondering if it happened to anyone else and what they did to fix it, if anything....

i got a new pignose front end for my car..bumper, lights, everything..but my left turn signal has a mind of its own.

i hooked up my flop headlights (which only highbeams work btw) but i did not hook up my amber turn signals yet...i dont even think theres working bulbs in there. anyways the problem im having is that sometimes my left blinker will get "stuck". It will turn on and the little green left turn light will stay on in my console, it wont even blink. When i looked outside, the rear left turn signal stays on, also with no blinking and as for my front theres obviously nothing because theres no bulb and its not hooked up. so to end this i have 2 quick questions..

1) for my headlights, if only the highbeams work then that means that my lowbeam bulbs are burned out right? (i have sylvanias by the way)..if so ill just buy a new pair of lights, unless i can just replace the bulbs.

2) for the left turn signal "sticking"...how would i make sure it works properly? ..what do i need to clean or replace so it blinks like its supposed to?

thx for any help guys....i swear my car is starting to freekin fall apart

I scanned through what you said quickly

1) your s13 pop up light is dual beam, high beam and low beam in one. Sounds like you wired something wrong when you swaped the pig nose

2) try switch the right side relay with the left side. If the sticking moves to right side then maybe it's the relay.
