You know those old beat up cars that you see hitting the brakes and one of their lights goes out instead of getting brighter?
well you might be seeing me. (minus the beater) Out of the 4 light bulbs one of em actually works properly, left light, on drivers side.
If i hit the brakes, Signal, 4 ways, anything to brighten the lights on the pass side the light goes straight out, then in the intermediate time between flashing, it goes back to running light, but once it is supposed to light up brighter it goes out, batt voltage running only drops by .2 V if you hit the brakes so i dont think its shorting.
My relay flashes left and right extremely fast, about like mash dude --->
Relay bad? i replaced the bulbs with 12v bulbs. took a jumper wire from the batt ground and hooked it to the little crimp thing that ties the two lights' ground and no difference..
any ideas? any help is super appreciated, i dont want to be hit!
Not to bump but my lights turned out to be the ground in the light socket ifself, stripped some more back and put er back together and bam, bight as can be.
