My high and low beams (Litronic) work, but the turn signals don't work - replaced bulbs and still not working. Anyone got any ideas?

Loren

Look for corrosion or a broken wire at the socket.

none/none - it's really odd it's BOTH sides, same symptom!! If I disconnect them, then reconnect, the passenger side works for about 30 seconds, then stops, drivers side...nothing

Loren

Have you checked the sockets where the Litronics plug in?
Sometimes a wire connector can get pushed out of the main connector - or worse someone broke the connector. This is the part that stays in the car when you remove the headlight assembly.

As I recall the tech said as he was hot testing the connector, he said "some of them look pushed in"...is that fixable?

Loren

If they are in fact pushed in then they can be re-seated.
Problem is that sometimes folks force the lights in and crack or break the connector.

Thanks Loren, I had the car at Ruf and they were needing to replace the whole housing ($1914). Who would you suggest to re-seat, if in fact that's the problem?

Loren

Take it someone with an electrical pin removal/insertion tool (about a $50 tool).
They should be able to reinsert any pins in the socket - as long as the socket or the socket mount are not broken.
If the socket mount is broken then you will need to replace the housing (or reach behind and plug in the headlight by hand).

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but any ideas on why one headlight would sporadically turn on/off (when lights are turned on), especially when going over bumps? thanks

Loren

Sounds like a poor connection. Check the connections inside the fender when the light is out.
