Post Newbie!

Nice to be part of this forum. I am Buttercup Girl and this is a 2005 Crossfire Roadster Convertible. I am having right front turn signal issues. It is flashing on instrument panel at a fast pace. I changed the bulb but it did not correct issue. The rear signal is working properly. The fuse looks ok. Took it out and it didn't look fried.

Welcome to the forum! I think I saw your post on Facebook.. I had the same exact issue for over a year but had to finally fix it to get inspected.. what I did was get a curved metal pick tool



Inside the headlight turn signal as well as the bulb housing that comes out, there are two metal contacts (on each) that you should take a look at and see if they have any scouring.. mine were a little black but I cleaned them up and then used the pick to bend all of them up a little bit so that they all came in contact better and viola!

We'll as luck would have it it worked last night for one test and now is back to not working. I switched the left and right bulbs and housing and the bulb from the right side (not working) works fine in the left side. Soooooo we now know it isn't the bulb and the housing...any suggestions? Is there a switch\fuse somewhere in the steering wheel???
