Why the Chery Fulwin Turn Signal Doesn't Light Up?
2 Answers
Chery Fulwin turn signal not lighting up may be caused by circuit breakage, flasher relay failure, excessive contact gap, etc. Inspection methods and measures: Open the flasher relay cover and check if the coil and resistor are intact. If the resistor heats up but the contacts fail to close, press the movable contact; if the turn signal lights up at this point, it indicates a relay malfunction. Adjust if the contact gap is too large. Inspection methods and measures: If the turn signal doesn't light up when pressing the movable contact and the contacts close, use a screwdriver to short-circuit the contacts. If the light turns on, it suggests contact oxidation; if the turn signal still doesn't light up, the turn switch may be faulty. Use a screwdriver to connect the turn switch live wire to the left and right light wire terminals separately. If the light turns on, it indicates a turn switch failure, which should be removed for repair or replacement.
When encountering a non-functioning turn signal, I usually start by checking several common issues. A burnt-out bulb is the most straightforward cause, especially in older vehicles where filaments tend to break after years of use. Next, inspect the fuse - locate the turn signal fuse in the fuse box under the driver's seat; if it appears blackened, it's blown and can be replaced cheaply at any roadside shop. If the dashboard indicator arrow doesn't flash when activating the turn signal, the flasher relay under the steering wheel is likely faulty - this small box controls the entire system. Another possibility is poor wiring connections, particularly at the front light assembly where plugs can become corroded or loose from rainwater exposure. Don't overlook the switch handle either, as long-term use wears down its contacts. I recommend troubleshooting from simplest to most complex issues, and consulting a professional mechanic if the problem persists.
