Re: newbie turn signal issues

The wattage of your bulbs is the most likely cause. Not enough draw to trip the relay. Im assuming the originals worked fine. So either find higher wattage bulbs or a different relay. The blinkers are 3 wire settups so there is a running light wire and a blinker wire as well as a ground you might check to see if everything is hooked up right. One time I bought aftermarket blinkers that were 3 wire but the bulbs had two different filaments one for blinking and one for running and I burned the bulbs out real fast because they were mixed up. I dont know if any of this will help but it was worth a shot.
