Causes
- Burned-out or failed bulb/LED unit
- Broken/open wiring between lamp and Body Control Module (BCM)
- Corroded, loose or damaged lamp socket or connector
- Poor or broken ground at lamp assembly
- Blown fuse or faulty relay in the lighting circuit
- Faulty BCM or lamp driver output (less common)
Symptoms
- Right turn signal lamp (front and/or rear) does not illuminate when signalling right turn
- Turn signal indicator on dash may not light or may flash irregularly (hyperflash or no flash)
- Hazard lamps may show different behavior for the right side only
- No voltage present at right lamp socket when turn signal is commanded
What to check
- Visually inspect right front and rear turn lamp bulbs or LED modules for damage or failure
- Activate right turn signal and observe which lamps light (front/rear/dash)
- Check related fuses and relays in fuse box (consult vehicle manual)
- Inspect lamp socket and connector for corrosion, bent pins, moisture, or loose fit
- Use a scan tool to read BCM for related codes and to command the right turn lamp ON/OFF if available
- Measure voltage at the lamp socket with turn signal commanded (use back-probing)
Signal parameters
- Voltage at socket when commanded: approx. 12 V (vehicle battery voltage)
- No voltage or intermittent voltage indicates open/disconnect or BCM driver issue
- Typical incandescent bulb current: ~0.5–3 A (varies by lamp); LED modules draw significantly less (e.g., 50–300 mA)
- Expected low series resistance in bulb filament when cold; open (infinite) indicates bulb failure or open wiring
- Ground resistance to chassis should be very low (
Diagnostic algorithm
- Confirm the symptom: activate right turn signal and note which lamp(s) do not light
- Visually inspect and, if incandescent, remove and inspect the bulb filament; replace with a known-good bulb or swap with the left side bulb to test
- With turn signal ON, back-probe the lamp socket: verify battery voltage at the hot terminal and good ground at the ground terminal
- If no voltage at socket, trace wiring from socket to connector: inspect connectors for corrosion, damaged pins, or pushed-out terminals
- Check continuity between the lamp socket and BCM output pin; repair any open circuit or damaged wiring
- Inspect and test related fuses/relays; replace if blown or faulty
- If wiring and lamp are good but no output from BCM when commanded, use a scan tool to command the output and confirm BCM operation; check for BCM power/ground and related body ECU codes
- Repair or replace the faulty component found (lamp, wiring, connector, fuse, relay, or BCM). Clear codes and retest the system to confirm repair
Likely causes
- Failed bulb or LED unit
- Open/disconnected wiring or detached connector at right turn lamp
- Corroded socket or poor ground at right lamp
- Blown fuse or related relay
- BCM/lamp driver fault (if wiring and lamp verified good)
Fault status
Status
Right turn signal lamp circuit open — circuit did not present expected load/voltage when commanded. Possible bulb, wiring/connector, ground, fuse, or BCM driver fault.
Repair difficulty: Medium
Diagnostic time: 0.5-1.5 hours
