What causes the turn signal failure in the Roewe i5?
2 Answers
Possible causes include circuit breakage, flasher relay failure, excessive contact gap, and other factors. Below is relevant information: Model Overview: The Roewe i5 is a high-performance internet-connected mid-size sedan under the Roewe brand, featuring the 'Rhythm' family design philosophy and elements derived from the Vision-R concept car. Exterior Design: The Roewe i5 Linghao edition adopts the brand's floating wing-style wide grille design, paired with rectangular headlight clusters. Additionally, it features a trapezoidal air intake below. The side profile incorporates dual waistline styling, while the rear sports a ducktail spoiler design. It also comes with a limited free upgrade to LED headlights across the entire lineup.
When I was driving the Roewe i5, I encountered a sudden failure of the turn signal, which really worried me. After troubleshooting, the most common issue was a burnt-out bulb, especially after prolonged use when the filament tends to break. Another frequent cause is a blown fuse, particularly on bumpy roads where the current can become unstable—the fuse box is located below the dashboard. Wiring problems, such as loose plugs or aging wires, can also lead to poor contact. In my case, it was due to rusted wire connectors short-circuiting in the humid, rainy weather. Faults in the relay switch or headlight control module are less common, but the Roewe i5's electronic system can sometimes have minor issues that require professional tools to diagnose. For safety, immediately turn on the hazard lights and pull over to avoid accidents caused by others not seeing your turning intentions. It's recommended to visit a 4S shop for a comprehensive check of the fuses and circuits. As a routine, remember to inspect the bulb condition every six months—replacing them is inexpensive and hassle-free.
