Hey everyone, I have a persistent issue with my front turn signals. These issues all come and go seemingly at random, worse after the car has been washed or it rains.
- Rear signals are fine. Problem only occurs in front.
- Every time I turn on the car, the first time I indicate right, the blinkers go super fast for a few seconds, then they go normal speed. They stay at normal speed until I shut the car off. Problem repeats every time the car starts again.
- The right side parking light actually fluctuates brightness. At night you can see it get brighter and then get dimmer like a candle. It's wild and I have never seen a light on a car do this.
- When I remove the bulb, the rear contact of the bulb looks melted. Small bits of metal fall out of the socket. Socket is corroded/torched.
- I have replaced both sockets and bulbs twice. The problem comes back quickly.
- The left blinker will intermittently stop working, and start again sometimes a few minutes later, some times an hour, or a day later.
- Rarely, the left headlight will also not work, but will come back to life like the blinker.
- No codes relating to voltage, alternator is pretty new, battery is charged.
So clearly there's something going on, I just don't know where to start. Maybe it's a bad ground somewhere, I've attached some pictures showing what the sockets and bulbs look like. Any help is appreciated!
