Hello All! I am new to the forums and just bought a 1984 Seville. My dad had one of these a long time ago and have always wanted one. Needless to say, the car runs great with a few minor things that I am working on to get it complete.
Anyway, I noticed 2 bulbs were out on the car, one on each side, and replaced them with new bulbs but it wasnt the bulb but the socket. Being new to cars, and not sure what to do, I went and bought 1 new socket. I cut the old socket out(right side), spliced it to the socket next to it, and now it lights. I did the same on the other side (left) but instead of buying a new one I just used the old one and extended the wire. This is very jerryrigged way, I know.
All the lights fire up and work. The only issue I am having now is the right side will not blink but instead lights up when I push the turn lever up. The left side works fine, hazards work, checked all the bulbs, and there are no dead bulbs. According to my Haynes manual, if one side doesnt flash then it is a bulb but I cannot find the darn thing.
My next step is to pull the turn signal flasher and get it replaced but wouldnt both sides not work if it is the flasher instead of just one side? Would jerryrigging the wires cause this issue?
