Hello everyone,
I've been away for sometime, mostly because my 2008 Mazda 6 v6 with 134k kilometers or 82k miles (hey,I'm from Canada) has been running great, until now.
I have an electrical problem (the worst type). My turn signals go crazy (if they work at all) when I turn on the head lights. I will now give you some added back ground info.
It all started 2 months ago when I tried to lock all the doors with the key fob and the alarm went off 5x in a row..HMMM. I locked all the doors from the inside manually..closed the doors and nothing.
What I noticed was the lights were not flashing for confirmation, so I went to this site and many people were saying that the turn signal socket(extension) had faulty tabs, therefore not making good contact in order to flash...electrical confirmation the all doors were shut..hood,truck etc.
I will have to say that I do have a remote start for winter (hey I live in Canada..Montreal), but that still works fine. Crazy thing is that I slammed the hood after checking the oil and all was great for 2 weeks when I did the same thing to check the oil. I digress...
If the turn signals work without flashing fast(as if a bulb was out..replaced EVERY BULB ON EVERY corner 2x)..very important...If they work as soon as I turn on the lights..even the parking lights... The 4 ways on the dash eliuminate and or flash at the same speed that the flasher should.
And damnit, my fog lights are not working( but they did after the first slamming of the hood) I bought 3 extra head lamp switches..no change..I even bought 2 OEM Mazda turn signal sockets at the cost of 95$..no change 4 way flasher works fine regardlless...Funny, the small bulb (194) above the daytime running light (hey I'm from Canada) flashes with the flasher and or the turn signal and the same rate...I need help!!!! Any body!!!
