I made the dummy mistake and didn't look to see how old the insp. sticker was when I bought my 93 SE, now I regret it. I brought my polished turd home and found that it had a bad pcv valve. So 6 1/2 hours, bloody knuckles and 4 bucks later, that was fixed. Now I noticed the left flasher going crazy, to my suprise there is no bulb in the assy. Ok, I thought. New bulb goes in, light comes on, and stays on. The left signal doesn't work at all the right is fine. When the headlights are on, the left stays on (park light, side light, hud, etc.) when I turn on the right, all the lights flash, interior, radio, brake lights, hazards, everything but the headlights. I thought maybe it was a bad plug assy., not the case. Does anyone of yous guys know or have a clue what the deal is. .........ps and yes I have searched and came up empty.

if all the lights flash i would start looking for a short or a bad ground somewhere, because for some reason the signal is going to all the lights o_O

you may have to look closely under the dash if some monkey has gone over the wiring..

btw, look in the FSM also, may hold a clue somewhere.

You know how it goes in Houston, probably a flood car, some corrosion going on or something.

I bet there was an aftermarket anti-theft system installed at some point and then removed. Check the steering column for f-ed up wiring.

check the relays and empty the water out. or they might just be bad

but do look for fed up wiring as well could be the suspect as well
