    Hi all, new here and very novice. My front turn signals, flashers and drls are not working. I replaced bulbs and cleaned sockets and they worked in the driveway until I drove it. I changed fuse under the hood for blinkers, no go. I assume the relay isn’t the problem since the back works?? I’m now guessing maybe there’s a loose wire or something but I have no clue where to start or end with maybe a multi meter. We live in the country and battle rodents so this is probably my luck! Any advice is appreciated, just remember to explain like I’m a 5 year old Thank you!

    What did you replace the bulbs with? Put the old ones back in and see what happens?

    I replaced them with new ones of the same kind. I threw away the old ones as they worked at first. They went out on the first drive.

    Ok so I replaced the bulbs (again) but this time also got new sockets instead of just cleaning the old ones. All seems to be working for now, we shall see after the first road trip since that’s when they went out again last time.
