No left blinker under braking

[pgeorgeson]

Left blinker works fine as long as I am not braking. When I brake, blinkers stop blinking (and go out). Advice (other than quit braking)?

Well, they do just slow you down...


I would start checking the wire connections on the front and rear turn signal buckets, and the front side markers. Make sure you don't have anything switched around; if you do all sorts of odd things can happen. Also double-check that you don't have any single-filament bulbs where dual-filament ones should be, or vice-versa. (Look for two prongs down in the bottom of the bulb holder to tell if a holder expects a dual-filament bulb.)

Then clean up the grounds for the front and rear buckets--that's always a good idea anyway....
