    Of course they are parallel..or they would both go out if one blows. Either way I dont see how a burned out bulb can increase resistance since that energy path is open.

      Two working turn signal bulbs wired in parallel come out to about 3.25 ohms.

      One craps out due to circuit faults or a bad bulb, your turn signal circuit now sees about 6.5 ohms.

      Need some help figuring out the ETM?

          You may also want to check the wiring harness along the radiator and behind the passenger side lights.

          The harness can rub off its insulation against the metal supports and start to cause issues with the wipers/washer jets among other things routed to that corner of the car.
