Replying to: hellcat1988 (Apr 17, 2009 5:27 pm) If I found the right one then the ground goes up and around to just behind the trunk, it plugs onto a clip there but it looked ok. I'm guessing this same problem is what keeps my interior light from coming on when the driver side door is opened but it does come on when you open the passenger side door. I also found some water in the trunk and back floor board recently as if a seal is leaking, we had a couple of days of heavy rain so it must have gotten in, not sure if it could have had an affect on the blinker situation or not. Is their any chance that the flasher relay could cause this problem at all I have not changed it yet as I thought if it was bad the flashers would not work period but I'm not 100% on that.

I'd recommend picking up a tube of silicone, pulling the light off, putting a THICK bead of calk behind the light, then reinstalling it. If you don't then water will continue to get in a mold will grow in your carpet. The light problem could be the pressure switch in the door. If it jams or fails the light will stay on. You should be able to reach the switch by un-clipping the b-pillar and reaching through the hole that is revealed when it's pulled away. You might have to remove the seat belt pivot point but that's done with a cheap torxs bit from any auto parts store.
