HELP ME!!! No turn signals after glass bumper install

[stormmaster]

As many of you know I am in the process of a wide body conversion using an IROC front bumper. I am using stock front turn signals..... When I wired it back up with the Bentley Manual...I have no turn signals....I have headlights...I have Park Lights...I did a search but didn't come up with anything that seemed to fit....Can anybody help?

Did you use a separate ground for these lights ?

+100. Make sure you have a good ground.

I used the same ground as the headlight....does it need to be separate?

[donporfi]

I think one ground is enough, but you need a ground because when you change the metal bumper for a FG bumper you do not have a ground.

The bulbs are grounded to the reflector. The reflector needs to be grounded to the body.

Thanks....I will run a ground wire

[stormmaster]

Ok....I have a bit of an update.....I tried to ground the housing running a wire from the bolts on the housing to the negative terminal of the battery....no improvement...I also found that the left HI beam does not work.....I am totally lost....None of the wires are crossed....everything was working fine when I took it apart....no fuses are blown....I have park lights on both sides...just no turn signal....I am open to any suggestions.....my head hurts from beating it against the wall.

Check the prongs in the socket with a test light while the blinker is on to a known ground. If your test light blinks, it's still a grounding issue.

Corvettes are full of "double wires" because of the fiberglass body...I concoure with others...you have a gounding prroblem.

[donporfi]

Do you hear the intermitent relay?
Do you see the blinker lights in the dash ?
How about the emergency flasher lights ?
The problem is only on the front of the car or also on the back ?

[stormmaster]

No intermitent relay sound....no lights on the dash....no emergency flash...no turn signals in rear

Well, now then check power to the relay with the key on and the turn lever set. If you have power there but no continuity, the flasher relay won't be working. It has to have a load to work.

The problem is somewhere where you worked, not likely upstream.
