canada or USA, (diffr. laws, different wiring, even DRL up there)
station wagon or NOT?
THE TURNS FUSE BLEW OUT. 2nd time, 3rd,,,?????
that means the circuit is overloaded or shorted.! (prevents fire)
but did it blow a 2nd time, why not say so???
all 4 lamps dead. or stuck on, or flash odd. or what? dim?
does the cluster lamp flash, , in blink or emerg. mode?
wont work , means what, (dead or stuck on or dim)?????
do emergency flashers work? ,dead, stuck on what?
does car drive perfect day or night?
are any other things on car dead, of odd acting?
we see all this , 1st 5 min in a shop, zero here.
ive answered Forenza blinks here, many times.
ever search?
ill now answer by guessing USA non stationwagon and no DRL.
dash box fuse 4 kills blinkers
EF1 (engine fuse) 1 good?
dash fuse 14 and EF1 can kills emerg. flasher
so of Emergancy flash lamps blows fuse 14,(smaller of 2)
then the blinkers are in fact shorted.
does it?
if yes, then find out which side blows the fuse 3.
turns left blow or turns right blows.
so if say turns right blows, F4 fuse.
if true ?remove all bulbs front rear right bulbs.
does the fuse hold now,(means not blown)
then buy new lamps there. problem solved
bulbs can in fact short.
not just blow open.
Tell the full story and all this gets easy.
For sure emergency flash,
I am wondering if your ballast is going bad. I will look into this a bit more.
I cannot see where you mentioned the make or model or year. You may have, I am just beat up tired. Can you add that info, because if it is an older car they don't have ballasts. Thanks!
1996 Pontiac Sunfire GT. It's not the alternator--one headlight is fine and the problem stays constant when bulbs are exchanged. DRL's quit at same time as the left headlight went dim.
Ok cool. I have a friend who is an automotive electrician. I will pass this info on to them and get back to you-- promise. I know what a pain it can be when "things" are just going wonky. I will get back to you tomorrow. Hopefully, it isn't anything to crazy. I am sorry to say that Hondas are my forte, I really know those persnickety beasts, but I do have another question: Do you headlights have individual ballasts? It is a smallish box that sits behind the headlight. With Acuras, when a headlight does this, it means the ballast has given up.
