Pretty straight forward... Both corner lights the bulbs do not light up when i signal. The two front bulbs are fine but the ones behind the orange reflector don't light up.

Fuse issue??? If so, which one???!

Thank you.

Simple, you unplugged the box under the radio. This box chimes when you have the key in the ignition and you leave the door open.

Is it unplugged or not?

If you have the bigger console with the cassette holder or the cupholder, it's right behind it.

Are you saying that your corner lights don't light AT ALL or just that they don't blink when you signal?

I'm not sure that they are supposed to blink, but don't know for sure.

They don't light up nor blink whatsoever and its not a light bulb issue...

Ok... I'll repeat. Is the little box plugged or not?

You may not understand where Carotman is coming from....truth is I don't either, but I would still take his advice considering he's had his car apart so much and converted it from A20 Carb to B20 Fi.

Anyone can do the test if you like. Unplug that little box and your side blinkers will stop working. This box doesn't just chime for our ear's pleasure. It has more than 1 wire going to it. The box also acts as a control device for the blinkers.

When the parking lights are off and you use your flasher, the side blinkers will just light as they're supposed to do. However, if your parking lights are turned on, the blinkers will do the opposite, they will turn off, then back on. This is what the box does.

Now, if you don't believe me, try it by yourself.

I second that. My interior lights(A/C controls etc..) did not come on when I forgot to plug the box back in.

Do you also lose your headlight warning chime if that's not plugged in? Mine doesn't work, and I'd really like it to.

Freakin' hate that stupid door racket though. My '93 screams incessantly if the door is open and the key is anywhere near the ignition. Forget about listening to the stereo while you wash the car. I have to unplug the fuse to shut it up. Drives me bananas.
