    The lights in my arb bumper for the turn signals went out, my first thought was bulbs, which didn't turn out to be an issue, and I have looked through the owners manual to try and see if there was a fuse for the turn signals and couldn't find anything about them. Any one on here know if there is a fuse for the turn signals, or have any other ideas of where I could look? Thanks gentleman.... I hate working on anything electric it scares me to death.

    The wires on the turn signals for the bumper are ridiculously thin. More than likely, you have a loose connection. My only recommendation is to strip off enough of the wire, twist it, and then fold it over a bunch of times to make the bare wire thick enough to crimp onto a connector and make a good connection. I’ve dealt with this issue before... very annoying.

    If you are using the little squareish white plastic connectors, those are notoriously loose. I kept having problems with it not working on the driver side, I ended up cutting the whole thing off and crimping my own connectors.
