Saab 9-3, 900, NG900 Forum

hi im having some problems with my turn signals, i changed the burned bulbs the other day and now im having problems with them. there are two bulbs on each side of the front turn signals the ones next to the headlights. and now when i signal left the one on the back flashes but the one on the front does not and when i signal right the one on the front flashes but the one on the back does not. when i say back im not referring to the back turn signals im referring to both front ones. - these - http://www.strandbergauto.com/yard/saab_95_2000.jpg these have two light bulbs on each side. has anyone had this problem or knows a fix? thanks

Those turn signals are from a 9-5 not a 9-3 lol.

That is normal. Only one bulb is supposed to flash when signaling the other one is for the backup (reverse) lights. What probably happend was that one of the lamps was removed for some reason and the 2 bulbs were installed in the wrong places. Simple and that means is that you don't have a problem

The back bulb is the one that is for the blinker and the front one is for the reverse lights

all the bulbs are new and i have placed them int eh exact same order as bfor. and im talking about the front side lights there are two bulbs on each side. im only talking about the front end. could it be a fuse?

Dude! I explained it to you read it again. Each front signal light has 2 bulbs; one bulb is for the signal and the other is for the backup lights (Yes when you reverse, the front signal lights light up to help you with parking) The bulbs holders are placed in the wrong order that is all. The signal bulb goes on the back and the reverse bulb goes on the front of each corner lamp. Your car is acting normal! You just hasve 2 bulb holders misplaced probably by the previous owner or his mechanic.

ok i checked the position of all the wires and they all seem to be in the correct place and its still giving me the same problem. it all works perfectly with the engine off but as soon as i start the car it gives me the problem? any ideas?

H already told you the answer... re-read his posts and then move the bulb holders to the correct spots...
