2003 Acura TL (type S) multiple lights not working! (turn signal, dashboard, back)
 
I have an 2003 Acura TL-S.

So my driver side front turn signal doesn't work. When I turn on left blinker, it blinks faster than normal. But my driver side BACK turn signal works.

I checked the socket (for the front driver side turn signal) and like the wires that come out of the socket aren't there and if something is supposed to be connected into the socket, then it's not there either. I think the wire harness is missing!!
I bought a new socket but I can't find the wire harness for it.. (I attached a pic of the broken socket, I have bought a new socket now!)
I don't even understand what's missing or what may be broken.

In addition to this, NONE of my dashboard lights work (Speedometer, stereo, clock etc).

And the red lights on the back of my car dont work either!
Like when I brake, you can see BRight red Brake lights come on... but the running red lights on the back of the car don't work when I turn on lights at night.

Anyone know how to solve this problem!? :crook:

Your going to need to get bulb size 7443 (x2 per side. 4 total) for tail and stop lights. They need to be dual filament bulbs so make sure you get the 7443. If none of your dashboard lights up check fuses to see if blown or relays that needs replaced. For front turn signal you need to do some splicing and run few wires. Not sure how comfortable you feel about doing it but not hard at all. If you havent resolved yet msg me and ill help you and walk you thru it. Also sometimes wires and connections do become frail and come apart with just age of vehicle so they need some wiggling and moving around after. "Hyper" blinking usually means bulb[s] dead or need resistors if using led bulbs. Led bulbs can work but they can cause error in dash because not enough resistance being drawn from it. If fuse is issue normally it wont turn on completely and not just one side. Good luck
