I would suggest getting a factory service manual with the electrical diagrams if you don't have one already. Then take a look to make sure all the wires are connected correctly and are in decent shape.

BuzzCap7, why are you acting so phallic? This guy is posting on the correct forum, your post was completely uncalled for.

That beng said, yes a wire diagram is definitely in order. How much of the wires in the headlamp bucket is original harness and how much is messed with by the previous owner?

Hi there Zan. Is that how you read the post I made above?

I used that post many times. No one (that I know of until now) read it as unpleasant.

It was supposed to be joking and light-hearted. Huh. I'll have to look at the post again and maybe re-do future posts so it comes off more in a happy joking manner.

Oh, I almost forgot, if I am not mistaken, this post is in the right spot as you mentioned above Zan, bcs I moved it here from the wrong spot.

Thanks for your input Zan. Have a GREAT day!!

It would be helpful to indicate that the post was moved, because it certainly isn`t obvious...

I have never understood the idea of the welcome area I guess...

That type of response is uncalled for...

92fxrs89: you posted a tech question in the welcome area of the forum, which is supposed to be for introductions only.
Your post is now moved to the correct area...

Please explain what you mean by this

Let`s chase down one problem at a time:

Left signal stays on....Are both the front and rear turn signals illuminating (but not flashing)?

Are the front running lights in the turn signals both working?

Dan, THANK YOU for your input. I appreciate that. I'll modify the "...response..." since you and Zan have commented on it.

I would like for it to be clearer and will take care of it. Thanks again pal!
