Abslt Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 96 legacy. Both front and rear blinkers on the passenger side are extremely dim. Even the indicator on the dash is very dim. The drive side works just fine. If I turn on the hazards then both indicators in the dash get very dim and same dim blinkers on the passenger side. When the right side are operating it’s sounds normal not too fast, just extremely dim, but the temp gauge will bounce with the blinkers. Does this sound like a ground issue? Any ideas on where to look would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forester2002s Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 Yes, a ground-issue is definitely a possibility. You could start by removing each bulb in turn, and seeing if the symptoms change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FerGloyale Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 one of those sockets has a ground short, probably through a lot of corrosion to provide just enough resistance to not blow the fuse, but enough to draw the volts down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abslt Posted June 15, 2019 Author Share Posted June 15, 2019 Well I removed the rear bulb, and this didn’t change anything. Removed the headlight to get to the blinker on the front. I found the harness going to that bulb had become wrapped up and extremely stretched-Pinched on the hood prop rod. So I repaired that section of the harness and all is back to normal.
