2000 3.5. When putting on turn signal, BOTH lights (left and right) flash, altho the other side is much fainter. So, when I put on Left turn signal it all 3 lights (dashboard, front, and back) flash normally, but also the RIGHT side also flashes (all 3 lights, only much fainter) Likewise is true when I put on Right turn signal (left ones flash, altho much fainter.)

I had replaced the Emergency Flasher switch two years ago, when turn signals didn't work sometimes (normal problem with these cars.)

So, I figured it must be that, so I replaced the Emergency Flasher switch again, but that did not fix the problem.

Anyone got any ideas? Thanks in advance.

wow, yeah my first guess would be the multiswitch in the steering column...if thats been replaced then id be looking at the relays.

I fixed it. It was a short in an add-on plug for a trailer hitch that the previous owner put on. I just cut the wires to this add-on plug, where
it tapped in to the wiring harness to the taillights. Lucky guess on my part, since I don't know too much.
I really appreciate your reply. This forum has saved me a lot of money since I have all the same problems that everyone else has with this quirky car.

oh i know, its a short in your trailor hitch wiring!

damn, you beat me to it! :rofl:

Can either of you guys tell me what the part number is for the emergency flasher switch? My turn signals have been wacky for a few months and everytime I try to get it replaced it's nearly $300!
