OTiS Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 previous owner replaced the parking/turn signal light socket with one that didnt fit in the houseing. i had a spare socket that did fit and wired it up but now my parking lights dont work. the fuse diagram dosent have anything about a turn signal fuse or parking light fuse. does anyone know which fuse it is or what i could have done wrong? there were three wires. red, black and green. if im right red and black should be parking lights and the green is turn signal.

cmgogo Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 check your flasher relay, could be stuck in off. as far as wiring, I think your right on the colors. any chance the signal filament is burnt out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTiS Posted May 29, 2011 Author Share Posted May 29, 2011 both turn signals work. but the parking lights arent coming on. the parking lights worked before i did this but idk what went wrong to make them not work. as far as i know none of the wires were exposed and touched each other. wrapped them in heat shrink tubing. would the flasher relay make the parking lights not work? and where is that located at?

Raley Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Are your turn signals working fine? Did you replace the bulb? Getting power? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTiS Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 i did get my turn signals working. guess my bulb burned out. another question so i dont make a new thread. i just installed edm sidemarkers. the harness comes with a two wire connector. is there a way to add a third wire so the sidemarkers do the same thing as the parking lights? meaning have them on as parking lights, and stay on while blinking for turn signals?

Raley Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 You would need 2 filament(sp?) Bulbs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTiS Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 You would need 2 filament(sp?) Bulbs... i have two filament bulbs in the sockets. but i think id need a third wire to cut into all three on the parking/blinker lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raley Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 your stock turn signals should have 3 wires and your 2 filliment bulbs should have 3 wires, a turn power, constant power, and ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTiS Posted August 20, 2011 Author Share Posted August 20, 2011 your stock turn signals should have 3 wires and your 2 filliment bulbs should have 3 wires, a turn power, constant power, and ground. im talkin about the edm fender sidemarkers. i have duel filament bulbs in those. and the socket has two wires that you splice into the parking/turnsignal lights connected to the headlights. is there any way to make the fender sidemarkers 3 wires so i can have them do the samne as the front turnsignal/parking lights? sorry for the confusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raley Posted August 20, 2011 Share Posted August 20, 2011 no, we are still confused. so the side marker bulb is 2 filament but the socket/wiring is for single filament... to get them to work like the corner lights you will have to replace that socket with a 3 wire (turn power, running power, and ground) so that it has a filament dedicated to each operation of the bulb.

Raley Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 It would be hell, id go to autozone and get some 3 wire sockets and retrofit them into the housings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTiS Posted August 27, 2011 Author Share Posted August 27, 2011 It would be hell, id go to autozone and get some 3 wire sockets and retrofit them into the housings. autozone didnt have them. but he did say i could take and add a third wire to the connecter and quick clip it to the third wire and itd work. would it?

lilnext Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 You're talking about some massive ghetto-rigging, and i've done my fair share of that, technically it would work, try the shack or advanced up near Yokohama Otis for the retro-fit way first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raley Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 throw me up a pic of what you have (bulb/socket) and the housing... i'll help ya. and retrofitting a socket is beyond rigging... its more of an electrical engineers nightmare... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
