What causes the turn signals on the Geely Emgrand EC7 not to work?
3 Answers
The reasons why the turn signals on the Geely Emgrand EC7 do not work are as follows: Flasher relay damage: The flasher relay is damaged, or the turn signal fuse has blown. The former can be replaced by yourself, while the latter requires a thorough check of the turn signal circuit for any short circuits before replacing the turn signal fuse (usually, the turn signal fuse is marked with a pattern or text in the car's fuse box). Also, since flasher relays vary by vehicle, they generally have three sockets, so it is necessary to purchase a matching flasher relay based on the vehicle model. Turn signal bulb failure: When turning on the left and right turn signals separately, the flashing frequency of the left and right turn signals is inconsistent—one side flashes faster and the other slower. This phenomenon is mainly caused by a difference in the power of the left and right turn signal bulbs or poor contact somewhere in the turn signal circuit (mostly at the connector).
I often encounter the issue of turn signals not working while driving, which is really frustrating. On the Geely Emgrand EC7, there are usually several main reasons for turn signals not lighting up, including a burnt-out bulb, a blown fuse, or wiring problems. A burnt-out bulb is the most common issue; the filament in the turn signal bulb can easily break after prolonged use, especially on roads with frequent usage. A blown fuse might occur due to excessive current in the circuit, triggering the protection device, so it's necessary to check the corresponding fuse in the fuse box. Wiring problems like short circuits or poor contact are also not uncommon, possibly caused by loose connectors or aging wires leading to poor contact. There's also the possibility of a faulty flasher relay; a malfunction in the device that controls the signal can cause the turn signals to stop working. In such cases, I recommend pulling over to a safe place immediately to check, as malfunctioning turn signals can affect turning safety. It's best to have it repaired by a professional shop rather than attempting a DIY fix to avoid accidents.
As someone who often enjoys fixing my own car, when the turn signals on my Emgrand EC7 act up, I troubleshoot step by step. First, I check if the turn signal bulb is burnt out by removing the lamp cover to see if the filament is broken, then try replacing it with a new bulb. If the light still doesn't work, I inspect the fuse, usually located in the car's fuse box, find the one labeled for turn signals, and check if it's blown, replacing it with one of the same rating. Next, I examine the wiring connections, like the bulb socket or switch plug, for looseness or corrosion—cleaning them might solve the issue. Sometimes, the flasher relay, which controls the blinking frequency, needs replacement. If none of these steps work, the control module might be faulty. When working on it myself, I use a multimeter to test voltages to ensure safety, avoiding any operations while driving. I've handled this a few times this way, and it's been quite effective while saving some money.
