Thanks to everyone who responded.

So the culprit has been narrowed down to a break in the wiring somewhere between the signal arm and the bulb.

After checking grounds, bulbs, connects etc. with no luck I just spliced a test wire from the emergency flasher switch all the way to the light housing and it works fine.

So now all I have to do is find out where in the line the break is ;)

Thanks again,

James

Subject: Question about rear turn signal wiring

Hello all,

After a winter of storage (outside) I have finally gotten around to doing my spring van inspection. Unfortunately it seems that my right rear turn signal didn't make it through the winter.

I have changed the bulb and checked the light assembly but it appears that these aren't the problem. So my question is does anyone know of any weak points that I should check first? Also any other tips on where to look would also be appreciated.

Thanks,

James
