Re: [Amc-list] Turn signals

[Wrambler242@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Don't forget to check the actual bulb/lamp.
especially if they are new and unused.
I've seen them shorted internaly before. Visibly they are fine, no broken elements, but shorted in the base.
Takes a while to find if you're not checking them too!
