HELP!!! Turn signals dont work - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

86King · 03-07-2018, 01:33 AM

After a year, my turn signals started to fail again.

When it is light outside and headlights are off (DRLs on) I go to turn on my right turn signal, it flashes on the dash and makes the ticking noise and at the same time my climate and infotainment screen flash at the same pace.

When it is dark outside and headlights are on, the turn signals on the dash iluminte and get brighter as the car is warming up. Neither of the signals work outside the car. The right turn signal is only illumitaed outside the car, and stays iluminated. Hazards also do not work.

This happend about a year ago, but not this bad where lights outside the car would not work. It eventually went away, until the past week.

I have a 2014 FR-S Monogram edition, with aftermarket turn signals all around. (Switch backs in the front, LEDs in the back and aftermarket side markers)

Any help would be appreciated!!

Well, now that's a pain .....

Always check the fuses first....

Did you install the after market lights ..??

If so, you may wish to recheck your work.

If not, you may wish to take the car back to who did the installation (if possible).

I'm guessing you have a short or bad ground somewhere.....

Happened on my FR-S with aftermarket switchbacks, the solder joints in the switchbacks came loose and was crossing connections which caused some strange electrical issues.

If you have access to FB, you can see it in this video.
