I need some advice concerning the turn signals on my 69 Imperial. The car has the factory sequential turn signals. I started the car yesterday for it to warmup and checked the signals and all worked fine.
I drove the car today and the fender mounted turn indicators do not light when activating the turn signals for either side. When I use the brakes both fender mounted indicators light up if I use the turn signal for either side. When I got back home I checked the back lights and the driver side blinks all of the driver's side tail lights at the same time (no sequential effect working) using the turn signal. The passenger side tail lights did not work when I used the blinker, but the front turn signal on the passenger side worked. I can hear the flasher blinking when I activate the turn signal.
Would this be an indicator a bulb(s) has blown on the passenger side tail lights? I did change the factory tail light sequencer to the Cougars unlimited digital controller several years ago.
I also have a question about the lights in each of the doors (4-door) at the bottom. The only light that currently works when you open the doors is the driver's side rear door. For a test I pulled the bulb from the front driver's door and it worked in the driver's rear door fine. When I put it back in the driver's front door, nothing happens.
Not sure what may be causing this on 3 of the 4 doors. Would this be a gound issue?
As you can tell electrical issues are not one of my strengths. I would appreciate any guidance someone may provide and I am sure this may be comical to the more experienced people on this site. Thank you in advance!
