95 blazer s-10 signal light problem

well i just came from work and the silnal light is working fine ... ain't da a b*tch... can any one tell me a good place to look for shorts cirquids... for the driver side signal light...

Look at the front turn signal light bulb. The filament breaks, contacts the other filament, and you get an odd short.

is the the filament.. the bolt is just fine .. is a short cirquid b/c sometimes it work  w/o any problem.. and the last 2 day is being going of and on... right now is working just fine... i want to know where can be good places to look for problems like this...

I had this problem on my 89 S-10 Blazer. The filament inside the bulb breaks on one end and contacts the other filament. It wont happen all the time. Could be the front or rear light bulb>

i forgot to mention the i took the bulb out and it was on,but i was like there was only a little current going into it b/c i wasn't emitting much light. i saw it on but the light was not strong enough to see it from out side the housing...iwas gonna take a pic of it.... but when i push the unlock doors in my remote control, when the lights flash the light came up fully... now is fine... and i don't know i swaped the bult with the other side and it was still the same problem the other time... the same light did not worked...i want to see if there isn't any short before anything....

any one ... please!

Check for a loose ground- on most GM truck products the front lamps grounds are on the core support near the lamp assemblies.

all the wires from the  signal light, lamp.... sometimes when i go over bumps and the light is "off" when the clazer hits the bump, the light goes "on"....and i can see there they are going... and i notice notice something else .. that when i turn on my hazardous lights the flash in diferent pattens ... they all go "on" and "off" at the same time but sometimes they flash fast(100 flashes per min.) and sometimes slow(20 flashes per min) what in the world can it be...

Check each socket one by one.  Remove the bulbs and test for continuity across the filaments.  Shake them a little bit to ensure the filaments are solid.  Then take a look at each bulb socket.  I've seen problems before where the sockets weren't making good contact, so the light wouldn't come on.  Then when you hit the turn signal or hazards, they blink fast because of the resistance sensing function of the flashers.  Maybe the contacts are a little bent out of shape, or maybe there's too much grease in there.  You mentioned before one of the bulbs was coming on just real dim.  That's an indication of either a slight short (possibly) or extra resistance in the circuit (more likely).  Ensure you're getting around 12 volts to the sockets with the motor running.

My ex once told me I have a perfect face for radio.

i should olso mention the i have led winshild wshers and the light do not go on when the signal is not on... or the bumper light either.......today on my way back from work... and the signal , bumper and led washer was off. i stoped at a traffic light, i put the lights off and turned them back on and abra-cadabra the lights when on... but after a few minutes ...abra-cadabra... the danm lights were off again.... how do i know if the lights are on of off... you may ask? when i am inside the car.... well the signal light in the inside does on...this a diagram of what i see when the lihjt switch is on the "on" position and all the should the "on" on the out side of the vehicle...and no lights "on" (signal lights)on the dashboard...

replace the sockets, and ground the new ones on a clean spot.  if you turn your lights on and the light goes out, it's not making contact with the ground - it's easier to just go to auto-zone or whatever you have nearby, and buy new sockets than it is to try to clean and repair them.  the contacts (which also work as springs) tend to lose their spring action, and will make crappy connection on the bulb...... you may be able to clean them, etc - but it's just easier and more reliable to buy new sockets for 3 or 4 dollars and replace them (and while you're at it, making sure the ground wire is grounded extra good)    i always love it when i see someone's tail light on one side go out when they hit the brakes (and they don't have any brake light on that side either, since the ground isn't making contact)..... always cracks me up

For it being a 95-96 blazer I would be surprised if the bulb sockets were gone, or one of them at least, mroe than likely because it is a common thing with GM vehicles that the ground wires corrode too quick and intermittently go on and off.

i look at the rounding points and the are perfect ... no looseness or corrotion...one thing i don't understand is why all 3 lights go out at ones... i notice another thign is the for the last 2 days it was working fine and as soon as a hit and bump the light goes about.... witch socket should i change ... the one over the aluminun block... or the ones by the bults...i'm thinking the one over the block... is the one you are telling me, right...

it is because the ground point for all 3 lights is BAD - the only other thing it can be other than that is, there is a break in the circuit somewhere between the drivers side front of the cab, and the driver side rear of the bed....  check the plug that is right behind the axle, but before the very rear of the truck - sometimes they will be corroded or partially unplugged...  but the thing is, it's feeding back into the dash light, so it still has to be a bad ground on that side.
