Title: turn signals on a 1999 1500
Post by: tmassey on June 12, 2010, 16:04:37 PM
i have a 1999 1500 and i have a turn signal question.......the sockets are two stage the bulbs are two stage but they are only working as a single stage....very dim and fast blinking....i replaced them with single stage and all is well......ok...now to the question...why were they not working as two stage like the front ones do.....is there a connection unplugged some where...?

i thought about that...could not find anything....but they only work when the blinker is turned on...no marker lights.

No, rear turns are only single element.
