is
burned
out,
replace
it to help
avoid
an
accident.
If
the
arrows
don’t go on at all when
you signal a
turn,
check
the fuse. See “Fuses
and Circuit Breakers”
in
the
Index.
If
you
have
added
wiring

a
trailer,
a
differenl
turn
signal flasher may
be
used.
With
this
flasher
installed, the signal
will
flash
even
if a

signal
bulb
is burned out. Check the front and rear turn
signal
lamps
regularly
to
make
sure they are working.
