Turn signal problems - dannymarilyn - 11-22-2019

Dear Fellow Newell Owners, we had a problem with the turn signal not blinking if the park and or headlights were on. In addition the turn signal indicator light would stay on if the park and headlights were on. In our 1991 #277 coach, the headlights and turn/parking lights were Ford truck units. The problem stems from the #1157 lamps not being fully inserted and twisted into place in the PLASTIC sockets! We all know what plastic does, especially after 20 years of service. The problem is easily solved by replacing the socket if the lamp can't be made to properly seat into the socket. A NAPA # 787131 3 wire socket is easily spliced into the wiring harness, and with a properly seated lamp, each function works well and independently!

Happy miles!
Danny
