Blinker issue

Hey guys, new to the forum. This place is badass! Anyways I just got a 2017 sr5 and my drivers side front blinker doesn’t work when I have my head lights on. I swapped the bulb from the other side and it does the same thing so I don’t think it’s a bad bulb. Other than the ground that’s right next to the battery, is there another one I can check? Fuses look good too...

 

Turn on the turn signal and check the power wire to the socket to see if it’s getting power.

 

If the power wire is getting power, possibly bad socket/contact. If the power wire is not getting power, locate the fuse or relay.

 

So it’s getting power, I swapped the removable socket piece from the other side and it’s still having the same issue, maybe it’s the hard wired socket piece. Seems weird that it would be getting power though and it’s the bad socket. I checked the fuse under the steering wheel but is there a relay too? If so do you know where it’s located?

 

On your 17 sr5, it’s the headlight assembly with the amber light bulb that’s also the drl when the truck is in gear?

 

Do your hazard lights flash on all 4 corners?
Turn signals go through hazard light switch.

 

Yes it is

 

Same issue w hazards. Flash fine w the headlights off but front driver won’t flash when headlights are on

 

Low on fluid?

 

Has it been hit in that corner? CarFax show anything? Can you see any repair work in the engine compartment?

 

ha damn! That’s it! Blinker fluid reservoir was bone dry

 

See if the drl turns on, running out of ideas.

 

nope drl lights don’t come on

 

Check the drl fuse. In engine fuse box.

 

Sorry didn’t realize they wouldn’t come on if my handbrake was on, they do come on but the drivers side seems dimmer

 

drl fuse was missing so I replaced it, but it didn’t fix the problem

 

The drl light bulb in front is double filament. When head lights aren’t on, it’s brighter. When head lights on, it dims. With head lights on, you said one side is brighter. Possible short.

 

Interesting.
I would look at the headlight/turn signal stalk. There’s a lot of contacts in that sumbitch. No spills or rain through the window incidents?
