Hey everyone, I recently had a issue with my car filling up with water- I believe I have that resolved (I silicon caulked the talight seals)-

Now I am running into another issue-
I drove the car to class and noticed my turn signals were not working. By not working I mean not even showing up on the dash. Hmm simple fix- I checked fuses, and it was a fuse, so i swapped it out.

Test the left turn signal, it works fine. Test the right, and it cuts off and pops the fuse again.

I tried different bulbs, but not am at a loss of what to do-

Things I think it could be:
1) Combination Switch
2) water got into socket and shorted it out?
3) Short in wiring somewhere (tomorrow afternoon after class I will be testing that)

Is this a common issue? I couldnt get the search to work properly-

Thanks!

 

I had the same issue. mine is very dim lited in the dash to. I sealed my trunk but it still leaks. Did you replace the seals for the sun roof pipeing if you have one????

 

Almost the same deal happened with mine. The tail light foam breaks down over time and may let water in. And since only the running light in the rear has an o-ring the other sockets can let that moisture in and corrosion will form over time.

Try a little 00 or 0000 steel wool to clean up the metal, make sure the light is dry inside, and install with a new foam piece.

 

yes i have the same problem with the water in the trunk i had almost 4 inches in the trunk and i need help anyone have pics on this show me how they fixed it becuase if i don't see i can't learn im LD but sunroom piping where is that i have a sunroof help is greatly appreciated ive been trying to find this thread for months lol

 

To water tight my trunk i used some automotive sealing clay. I put it around all of the tail lights. it seams to work just fine but now im thinking i still have to replace the sunroof pipeing or clean it out and seal it. i will have pic soon im planing on messing with it tonight so ill try and help you out bro!!

 

FWIW, when mine was filling with water it was because the trunk seal had gone bad.

 

ya pictures are helpful and thanks for trying to help me bro ... much appreciated ... so i should pull my tail lights check the foam and pull my headliner and check the sunroof piping and what not?

 

i pulled out the tail lights and sealed them. ther is no real need to pull the head liner unless you replce the piping. the problem i had is that it leaks were the piping exits the trunk on eather sids.

 

so what you seal your lights with and how did you fix the piping like what did you use just incase i run into that problem because my trunk is bad lol ... like rightn ow its winter and **** is cold so the water in my trunk is now a 5 inch think sheet of ice and man does it way my trunk down ... so im in need of fixing it asap

 

i used this stuff this basicly modeling clay. just jam it in the cracks and man it actualy works.

 

to fix the piping my trunk is alredy guted. if yours is not then you have to remove the panels to acess the piping and it will be right be hind your wheel well on eather side. so i blew out the piping with some comprsed air to see if it was cloged. then used this seal all stuff i picked up at wallmart. its a paste that comes in a tube dont smell to good lol. i sealed were it exited the trunk and it seams to have worked. i havent had i leak sence.

 

ok you said gutted well i have no carpet in the back no more spare tire i can see everyitng but the plastice panels where the speakers sit is all still their so im guessing if i remove all that i might be able to see but i still ahve to pull everyting out and ya i heard of seal all good **** lol but ill let you know when i do it and ill keep it up to date im hoping its not the sunroof drain but i kno its bad lol all kind of water just splashing around and a bad thing


I DON'T HAVE A GARAGE SO WORKING IN THIS 20 BELOW WEATHER SUXXXXXX

 

yea i know the feeling thats why i havent goten pics yet lol

 

Yes you hve to pull the panels out its kinda a pain if you have a tower brace. and the side panels are one peace all the way to the door its hell lol have fun!!!

 

oh well i guess it has to be done tho... and ya for sure this weather is beat...summer can't wait for that season dam

 

yea thats why when i pulled mine out i left it out. im using a trunk spray to make it look nice and professional and i hed all the wireing so it looks clean lol!!!

 

ya im leaving mine out as well...but im getting my car painted white in teh summer so when it gets painted the guy said he will just spray the trunk as well so i guess thats covered but we'll see things can change

I kinda have this same problem with my 94 integra sedan. I have water in my trunk and my back seats are wet, lol so ppl get there butts wet when they sit back there... The tail lights could be the culprite to the leaking?

the tail lights and the door seals

 

I ended up sealing it silicone from walmart, and one of the wires got pinched in the tailight- thought everyone would liek to know-
