So my front left (that's drivers side) blinker is acting as if the bulb is burnt out. However I've replaced all the bulbs. Don't see loose wires (hopefully I'm looking hard enough).
Can anyone shine some light of info for me? Never experienced this before on any of my XJ's.
I haven't used manual turn signals since riding motorcycles. But at least I'm doing them. People look at me like I'm doing something foreign. I don't think they know what it means.

Do your parking lamps work?

or neither the parking lamp NOR the blinker work?


My drivers front lamp works as a blinker but not as a parking lamp.

did you clean the socket?mine was doing the same thing only on the rear,turned out the socket for the bulb was real caroded.

thats funny you say this. I kinda had the same issue the OP has and cleaned them out yesterday and all is well now.

It just doesn't work as a blinker.
I knew i was doing something wrong! I've been over thinking the whole bloody thing. But it never crossed my mind to clean the damn thing.
Will do so tonight after work.

yup thats probably it, painted the housing for my bulb black so it wouldnt stick out so much with the clears and had to clean the paint out
