Need GURU help - "what's with the flashing lights?"
 
Short and sweet:
  • Car rear ended
  • Got G back yesterday
  • Turn on blinker, other blinker comes on too - like hazard
  • With headlights on, the spoiler taillight alternates in the flashing when blinker is on
  • Using cruise, turn on blinker turns off cruise
  • Maybe other stuff I haven't found yet
  • Autobody shop closed on weekends, but dealer repair is not
  • Dealer repair says, make sure you take it to autobody first
  • Now, it's a safety item, regardless of who fixes it
  • I can't turn it in right away, I am in the US Army and need the car for atleast a week for official travel.

Usually a fast blinker is telling you one of your lamps is out. The rest of that is a mystery to me. Obviously something is switched or crossed somewhere.

So far it seems all lamps are functioning fine. When the headlights are off, everything seems ok. However, if you look closely, you can see that the other blinker is also blinking dimly.

With headlights on, I have a night club strobe effect, dancing taillights. All blinkers operate like hazards, but you cannot tell while you're driving.

Yeah, something's crossed, broken or jacked up somehow.

Simple solutions? Any solutions? Anyone seen this crap before?

I've never seen or heard of anything like this before. Since our cars are run by a computer any electrical issue or malfunction can be very serious. Get it looked at fast.

I was told that the root for this issue may be a poor or loose ground during the reassembly process.

Sound like it could be the culprit?

Keyser16Soze Aug 27, 2007 01:22 PM

Got it fixed today.

For all of you who guessed:

It was the rear ground. After they repainted, the grounding screw had too much paint under it, so they had to clear that off, now I'm great.

Thanks for the support.
