Signal Lites don't work

When I turn on the turn signal lites; all of the lites on the instrument panel turn off; the speedometer goes back to zero and the signal lites do not come on,all gauges go back to zero. When the signal lite is turned back on the speedometer and the gauges come back on!

    A correction was made and apparently you did not get it! Let's try again: I have a 2001 Dodge Caravan Sport Van not a 1985 Porshe. The problem remains the same; the signal lites do not

    work and the instrument panel turns off. I have a Dodge Caravan Sport Van NOT a 1985 Porshe!



    Please refer to the problem from [email protected] dated 04/11. Thanks!

Try removing the fuse marked IOD ( 10 amps, lower left of the Fuse/Relay Center as you are viewing it) for 30 seconds or so, then replace.
The IPM Fuse & Relay Center is located under the hood between the battery and the firewall near the Drivers side fender and the cover is easily removed by pressing in on a couple of clips. That will solve the problem.

Hope I helped with the repair of your problem. An Accept from you is how I get paid. And a positive feed back tells me how I did with the repair.

1982 GMC 4x4. Left blinker works until brake is applied then brake light goes out as well.

You may have a ground problem? The ground wire is black, you could try a redundant ground, see if it helps? You could also use a test lite and check voltage at applicable lamp, with turn or brake lites on. Your lower brake lites and turn signals should use the same bulb filament, just not at the same time. If I'm correct, your lower brake lites are wired through the turn signal switch, voltage.

My left turn signals don't work.you can hear the clicker working normal and the courning lite come on. If you leave the signal switch on the turn lite will flash once in a while and also the lite on...

You most likely have a bad bulb, if the front bulb goes the rear wont work and vise versa both bulbs must be good to complete the cirrcut. Even though you have no lights you should still hear the flasher relay. Bulbs are cheap just replace both and you'll be good to go. Good luck

Loss of all dash lites / turn signal lights

I would, first, check all fuses in the fuse box to see if one has blown. Also, check if the flasher is alright for the turn signals, once power is restored.

If none of the above, then a harness connection may be loose behind the instrument panel.

Speedometer needle bounce when turn signal is on.

The speedometer sensor - VSS - vehicle speed sensor is a input to the PCM - powertrain control module -engine computer . The signal from the PCM to the instrument cluster for speed info. is sent on a serial data communication network (class 2 ) I would think it would be an instrument cluster problem . Get a used one from a auto salvage yard 15 - 20 bucks an see if it fixes it . If it does ,send your's out an have it repaired .

Turn signal quit working

A lot of the bulbs that are used as turn lights have a 2nd filament in them that is used for parking lites and/or brake lights. Is there any part of that right side lights working? check parking lites and check brake lites.

The next thing to check is the flasher. Can you hear it clicking when you use it for the left side? Now try it for the right side. can you hear anything?

2003 denali trailer wiring

If your signals & brakes are on 2 different circuits, ( for example a red lens for stop & an Amber for turn.) then you'll need to buy a converter that goes between vehicle & trailer. They're not too expensive at any trailer or RV place. I think some of the autoparts stores stock them now too.
