Turn Lights

The lights on the side that turn on with the blinkers stopped working I checked the fuses and they are all fine. You guys have any ideas?

The wierd part is that they stopped working for a couple of days then started working off and on and then stopped again.

I had a similar problem. There is a relay on the driver side of the engine bay, close to the battery that goes to these lights. I got another one from the junkyard and mine have worked fine since. I will try to search and find the thread because someone took a pic and showed me right where the relay was.

*edit* I got the hook up! check it out

You might also want to check the bulb and the socket.
Sometimes corrosion and rust will interrupt the circuit.
A little steel wool (with the power off of course) can
clear the contacts. Be sure to blow the excess steel
wool away when you are finished.

its suposed to come on with the blinker so you can see to the side you are turning....I am confused what your problem is?
