Why does my turn signals not work when my headlights are on?
Why does my turn signals not work when my headlights are on?
The reason the turn signals quit working when the lights are on, is that a 12-volt signal is now being sent down the opposite wire, which was acting as a ground before. Once the lights are turned off, everything will work fine again.
What are the colors of the headlight wire?
Here are the full wiring diagrams in the images BELOW. Left front turn signal wire is light blue. Left rear turn signal wire is yellow. Right front turn signal wire is dark blue. Right rear turn signal wire is dark green. Grounds are black. Common power for tail and license plate lights is black and white.
What kind of wire is right rear turn signal?
Right rear turn signal wire is dark green. Grounds are black. Common power for tail and license plate lights is black and white. Common power for front parking lights is yellow. High beams are pink wires. Low beams are dark blue.
What are the wires on a head lamp?
Take the lamp connector loose, with headlamps on, check for the same voltage on all head lamp circuits, use chassis ground not headlamp connector ground. In the diagram, the top wires are voltage, bottom wires are ground.
What are the wires in a headlamp relay?
In the diagram, the top wires are voltage, bottom wires are ground. The dimmer switch is part of the ground circuit, if you wan t to word it that way. The low beams ground through the headlamp relay in diagram. The high beams ground through dimmer switch ground. The ground wire location is the same for high and low.

What happens when you turn on the headlights?
When you turn on your headlights, that switch activates a relay. That relay, in turn, actually provides the electrical connection between your headlight bulbs and the battery. Fuses are also involved in order to provide a sacrificial failure point to protect the rest of the wiring.
How does a headlight switch turn on a high beam?
In the same way that your headlight switch activates a relay to provide power to the headlights, operating your high beam control will generally activate a relay to turn on the high beams. In the case of dual filament headlight capsules, this literally sends power to the high beam filament.
