On the course!
About three weeks ago I had my oil changed in my 2002 LeSabre.

One of the tail lights was out, so I told them to go ahead and replace it.

I left the shop and took the car home. I took my GF to dinner that night, and I noticed the light was still out!

Well, I took it back, and they told me it wasn't the same bulb, but the one next to it! (Riiiiiiight!)

They replaced it at no charge, and I was on my way. Well, ever since then, the directional has been "double timing" it every time I turn it on. (Just like it would if I had a light out on some cars)

Also, the display on the dash shows the signal "on" dimly all of the time, and sometimes it is brighter, but it is almost always on.

So......What gives?

OK I love car questions

when you put the signal on what sound does it make ?

does it go click click click

no sound

rackty rackty rackty

this should be easy

I cant believe you would pay to change out a turn signal bulb . Do you own any fawking screwdrivers ?

Bulbs are 3 bucks tops at auto zone.

ORIGINAL TURN SIGNALS and BRAKELITES and BACK-UP lites.

Gets 25 mpg combined...

Now lowbeam headlights in a 2003 QX4... $600 at the dealer...

Nobody will sell them nor will anybody change them because of the voltage and intensity of the bulb...

I wouldn't have bought it if I knew a single buln would be $600 installed...

Craziness... kurby

Sounds like you still have a bulb out. Check it yourself and see. Check with lights on only, turn signal on and brake lights.
