Not sure if there is a connection but, I just gave a friend a jump start and afterward I drove to the store. While making a left hand turn the blinker started blinking fast. I guessed a bulb was out, but they all work, and nne seem to be dimmer than any of the others. What's going on here?

Check your fuse box and all fuses carefully. Do the window go up and down? Also list the car model and year so we can narrow down the issue.

i checked the fuse box, no blown fuses. checked the connections to the front, no corrosion, cleaned them. checked the front bulb, no problem. going to check rear lamp now.

Remember some of the fuses blow on the ends and they look good. Do all the rest of the electrical functions work properly? List what model, too.

I don't understand, don't you guys see my sig? I do

I checked the rear lamp and it was filled with some water. How did that get in there? My rear quarter panel window must have a leak huh? Anyway, i drained it and it worked normally again. If you can't see my sig, its a 85' 300TD wagon

There was another wagon owner who had water in his taillight a while back. Either this site or benzworld, can't remember, and I don't think he ever figured out how the water got in there. My guess is that the rubber seal is letting water that comes down from the rain gutter into the housing. Probably something that happens over a period of time.
