| Description of the problem | Driving on highway, noticed that when i use my left turn signal it was flickering fast on the dash board, then warning message appeared on dash, check turn signal, check brake light, check fog lamp. When i got home, check all bulbs on the left rear light assembly, all bulbs are intact. Noticed the brown wire was a little corroded and like a burnt contact on the light assembly. Started the car again, everything is working okay. Now exact same messages appears more than often when im driving the car. Concerned on what may have caused the burnt plastic contact point on the light holder. I researched through the internet and a lot of people are having the same issue. |
