Why does the turn signal stay on and cannot be turned off?
1 Answers
Possible failure of the flasher relay, which may need replacement. When the turn signal is activated, you can hear the clicking sound of the flasher relay at its location—check there. If only one side of the turn signal lights up, the current in the circuit is half of what is used for hazard lights, resulting in insufficient coil magnetism. If the light stays on without flashing, open the relay and slightly loosen the internal tension spring. Below are the correct usage methods for vehicle lights: 1. Poorly lit roads: Use high beams on roads with no or insufficient street lighting. However, switch to low beams when approaching other vehicles or pedestrians to avoid glare. 2. Reading road signs: Use high beams briefly to read road signs when unfamiliar with the route, but quickly return to low beams. 3. Overtaking: Activate the left turn signal in advance and alternate between high and low beams or honk to alert the vehicle ahead to yield. 4. Approaching corners, curves, or unsignalized intersections: Alternate between high and low beams as a warning. 5. Driving in tunnels: Use high beams but switch to low beams when encountering oncoming traffic. 6. Urban areas with streetlights at night: Always use low beams. 7. Dark areas without streetlights: Use low beams when driving in unlit areas at night or during dusk/dawn. 8. Impaired visibility: In fog, snow, or heavy rain, use low beams even during the day.
