Turning lamp won't turn on with low beam - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hey guys,

First time poster. Please let me know if I'm in the wrong thread. I am also a noob, so I don't know too many technical terms.

My turning lamp doesn't turn on when my low beams are on, but the signaling works. Here's a link to a video of my car:

Only my right side is having an issue.

Any suggestions as to how I can fix this, or any possible guesses for what the problem might be are appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi ya, MarcusDer and welcome to our forum -

First, I'd check the fuse that is associated with that light.

If the fuse is good, maybe the bulb is bad. Swap it with the other side, if it works over there, it may be a ground issue. If it doesn't work on the other side, it's most likely bad.

You'll need a new bulb.

One of the two lightly thingys is gone.
Common problem and solution since 1940's? Give or take a few years.

Thanks guys! I'll definitely try all the solutions.

My grandfathers 1911 model "T" had electric headlights. Yep, that's where I learned not to touch a lit lightbulb -

My grandfather also (later on) had a new Oldsmobile and he let me dust off the dash - that's where I learned not to touch the other end of the knob that popped out from the dash -

Sorry - I'm rambling again -

Why did it read as a sexual assault?
