Broken blinkers can lead to accidents and you getting
pulled over by the police, as it is illegal to have malfunctioning blinkers.
Here at our Toyota
service center at Bell Road Toyota, our mechanics are happy to help you get
your blinkers working again. Here is everything you need to know about broken
blinkers.
Why Aren’t My Blinkers Working?
Broken blinkers can be caused by a number of different
factors. First, in order to ensure that your blinkers are actually broken, get
another person to stand outside your car while you turn on the blinkers. Have
them tell you which blinkers are malfunctioning and what the exact problem is.
Here are a few possible diagnoses for a broken blinker:
·
Dead light bulb: A dead bulb is one of
the most common problems that occurs with blinkers. If the bulb in your signal
dies, the solution is simple – have a Toyota technician replace it with an OEM Toyota part.
·
Faulty turn signal switch: The turn
signal switch is the device near your wheel which controls the signal. The
problem could lie with the wiring or the turn signal switch itself.
·
Oxidation on bulb sockets: Your Toyota
car parts can naturally oxidize over time. Rust can disrupt the contact between
the blinker socket and the bulb.
·
Blown out fuse: If a light or electronic
device produces too much energy, then a fuse is responsible for protection.
This device melts on purpose when too much energy goes through it to stop the
current and protect the circuit.
