Why are the turn signals on a Geely not working?
2 Answers
There are many possible reasons why a car's turn signals may not be working, including open circuits, faulty flasher relays, excessive contact gap, and other factors. Checking the coil: Open the flasher relay cover and inspect whether the coil and resistor are intact. If the resistor is heating up but the contacts fail to close, press the movable contact. If the turn signals light up at this point, it indicates a relay malfunction. Adjust if the contact gap is too large. Faulty turn signal switch: If the turn signals still don't light up when pressing the movable contact and the contacts are closed, use a screwdriver to bridge the contacts. If the lights then work, it suggests oxidized contacts. If the turn signals remain off, the issue may lie with the turn signal switch. Use a screwdriver to connect the switch's power line to the left and right light terminal posts separately. If the lights illuminate, this confirms a faulty turn signal switch that requires removal, repair, or replacement.
When the turn signal on my Geely car doesn't work, I usually check simple things first, like whether the bulb is burnt out or the fuse is blown. In Geely models, the turn signal fuse is located in the fuse box under the driver's seat, making it easy to find and replace. It could also be a wiring issue, such as a loose plug or aging short circuit causing poor contact—take some time to inspect the connections. If the light doesn't come on at all or flashes abnormally, the flasher relay might be damaged and need replacement. A faulty turn signal affects safe turning, so it's best not to delay and get it fixed at a professional repair shop promptly. Regular car maintenance, including checking the lighting system, can prevent such issues. Additionally, weather changes can accelerate wiring aging, so extra attention is needed after the rainy season.
