vehicle is 91 245 auto - in the past left rear turn indicator worked on and off (although 'bulb out' indicator on dash never lit up). when it didnt work, front left turn indicator flashed very fast. mechanic friend said wire was loose in the connector located in back of pedals under carpet and perhaps it would have to be re-soldered. a little kick to that area always made the light work again. now it is totally dead no matter where i kick and pulling back the carpet does not show any connector. using a test lamp i checked for power at the blue wire that supplies power to left rear turn indicator bulb socket and there is none. swapped out left bulb & socket w/right and still nothing (altho left bulb & socket work in right rear so it's a good unit). would like to trace this blue wire back but is there a connection under pedals or was he blowing smoke up my dress? if he was, where does this blue wire go to - direct to the fuse panel, or is there something else to look for - by the way, i also just replaced the 1157 left rear brake lite which was also out (but again, the 'bulb out' indicator on the dash didnt lite up to tell me that - the police did when he pulled me over...however the 3rd brake lite is out (due to a bad left side tailgate harness) and that sets off the 'bulb out' dash indicator every time. am i going crazy or what? many thanks brickers for your help in the past and a continued very enjoyable daily read. brgds garry mawhinney
