thanks! i will clean them once it gets cooler in Chicago. We're on that 95 degree weather :oops: :mrgreen:
So the ground connection could be disabling all the turning lights? i have no front signals (just the side markers) and the rear. is there specific ones i should be looking at? im a newbie by the way :| :| :lol: :shock: :oops:

You should get a test light and/or a voltmeter and TEST grounds before cleaning them.
Basicly, tun lights and/or TS on, get access to the bulb sockets w the bulb in em, ground test light, touch probe to bulb socket and the base of the bulb. Neither should show any voltage or light. If there is volt on bulb base or bulb socket, it is because it is not well grounded. Now find the ground points for that bulbs wiring.
Improper bulbs also can be an issue.
