Diagnostics of a turn signal light
As with every element of the car exterior, a turn signal light can be diagnosed by means of inspection. In the case of mechanical damage, replace the part. However, if the unit is intact, one should carry out a more thorough inspection. So, the cause of the light failure is often a blown lamp. It is possible that the failure is in the turn flasher fault. We recommend to close the relay contacts with a screwdriver or another metal object to confirm or deny the suspection. The best solution is to refer to a service station.
Replacing the indicator light
Due to the affordable pricing the part’s repair is irrelevant. To replace the lighting component, you will need:
disconnect a wire from the "minus" terminal of the battery;
move the indicator housing back;
then remove it from the fender;
squeeze the lock and disconnect the connector harness from the lamp socket and remove the turn indicator;
install a new light and do all the above steps in reverse order.
