    Help! Driver side indicator light stuck.

    So I just noticed something today, when i put on my main beams the outer headlights work fine but they also turn on the passenger indicator solid. Both stalk indicators work fine but this is driving me crazy.

      This should've crossed my mind, but being that I hate working with (and really don't know shit about) electronics in cars i fear that I will fuck it up. I'll attempt to fix this up tomorrow, should i just take apart the driver's indicator and check if anything is crossed?

      Sorry for the noobiness but I'm quite stupid when it comes to this sort of stuff and I just want to know where to start.

          Aside from someone coming to you to check it out, you won't get much more help than you already have.

          Check the entire harness at the front, headlights, and where the wiring for the indicators comes out the front, along with all the plug ends.

          I have an intermittent short somewhere where my headlights will come on dimly even while the switch is off. It happens.

            Wait wait wait. Where is the problem? Really?

            The parking lights are both supposed to be lit when the headlights are on. It looks to me that your passenger side just simply has a popped bulb filament.

            Replace the bulb.............. Or clean the bulb socket.................
            Better yet. Do both.
