Need an electrician

The turn signals on my ARB Bull Bar don't work & the FJ turn signals work fine. The bulbs ohms check good. How do I check for a bad ground on the turn signals? Any suggestions/advice would be appreciated.

Re: Need an electrician

sounds like maybe a grounding issue....did you tie in the signal wires to the bumper signal wires?....did you carry over separate grounds for the signals?....try finding a ground strap up in the engine bay and carry a wire over to the bumper for a separate ground.....RR

Re: Need an electrician

the bumper being bolted to the frame should give it enough Ground, So What I would do is find the hot and ground at the main turn sig, then take a piece of wire one for the hot and one for the ground , just rough this to the arb lights once you have them twisted and touching, where they are supposed to touch then test it. at least you can tell if they are working. hope this make sense
