1988 monte ss running lights

[jwood1213]

Are the running lights for the Monte on a different line than for the blinkers? I realized only one of my orange running lights turns on, but both will work as blinkers and hazards. Is it an easy fix?

First check the bulb.
Second, the ground connection on the side of the socket may be loose. Most parts stores have replacements.

I don’t think the bulb is the problem. I just tried right now to make sure but it’ll still turn on for the blinker.
The ground is the wire by itself near my pointer finger right?

Oh actually never mind, it is the bulb. I‘m not sure if you can tell from the picture but one of the lines inside of it are broken. I’ll order a new off off Dixie or mike‘s. Thanks for the help

I ended up grabbing two different pairs of bulbs, 1157 and 2057. (factory’s are 1157 and autozone told me 2057) The left one worked as it did before but the right still doesn’t work. I now have no right blinker or running light, and when I pull the light lever only one notch forward the taillights fully turn on. Also, the right blinker indicator stays on and doesn’t shut off, even when I move the blinker stock up. What did I possibly do wrong haha

have you checked the rear light, if the rear is burnt out the indicator light stays on. If it the rear light is good then the relay is shot

The rear light only blinks when the headlights are off. When the headlights are/the lever is fully pulled out it doesn’t blink and the green arrow stays on

check the rear grounds

while you are at it check all the grounds on the car. I never liked the lack of proper body grounding they did on these cars, many of us have upgraded the ground to the body, frame and engine
