Turn Signals...

[Big Rig]

When I apply the right turn signal, after a few seconds of blinking, I then get both indicators blinking on the dash of my I/S, i first thought that a bulb had gone out but they are all good. I did notice that when both indicators are flashing the rear signal lights are not flashing. When it does happen i do remember to shut of the signal...not so much when it does not happen...

Anyone else experience this and what should I look for to fix this....

Have you been playing under the right side cover?

If so, there is a green wire, (ground) that is not fully secured in the mating receptacle.   Everytime I got into the black rubber cover I always managed to knock it loose.  Then find it later after it was all back together.

It is a round receptacle and I changed mine out to a flat spade.  Knock on wood, I haven't knocked it loose the last 3 times  I was in there..

I have not been in there, but I will look at it, I blew a fuse a couple of months ago and have not been able to find anything that would have caused it...

If the trouble is not there I would still search for a ground problem. Try a test light and check the ground at all the lights. When things function in a strange manner, most of the time it is a loss of ground. Good Luck!

OK, spent the better part of yesterday checking for bad grounds...found nothing ...needless to say i was not happy....rode for a couple hours, that helped ...got home and decided to strat from scratch....first thing, checked the rear bulbs, easiest to accress....found the culprit...filament was broke and touching and not touching...so that explained why it worked some times and not others...so now the question is, where can I get a replacement, are these bulbs semi standard like car signals that I could get one at wally world? or are they only available from the stealer???

Not sure about the Interstate, but the bulbs on my Standard are simple plug and play at the auto parts store.  Cannot believe that the Interstate is different.
