Bulb out indicator
Bulb out indicator
I got back from Woodward and the 'Bulb Out" indicator was on.
I found one of the low beams was out, so I took it out and inspected it. It appeared to be OK so I buzzed it out and found that I had continuity.
I put it back in the car and it worked.
Has anyone seen this before? Maybe a bad filament that falls into the correct position. I have only seen these things completely burn out. There was no sooty residue inside either.
Maybe a bad connection somewhere?

Re: Bulb out indicator
I have a problem also but it's my right turn signal. Replace bulb, old one was still good, but still did not work. Checked fuses on drivers side of dash and they were good. Any answers?? Also I have been a member over three years and this is the best forum I have belonged to, Thanks to all of you!!!!1
