We recently had a bit of a torrential rain situation here in los angeles (not used to this! - as it NEVER rains here - as you may already have heard!) and as a result of that - I took out my water dam above the skid plate years ago - took the skid plate out too actually... but anyway-I think this happened after driving through about four inches of water at fairly high speed on my 31" BFGs ( I mention this because they tend to channel a lot of water!!). I'm sure my engine compartment received a good soaking...
So anyway- about a day after suddenly my signal lamps went intermittendly dead and then after that fully dead. They were intermittent for a few hours. I think the most telling thing about this situation is that when I click the stalk over to indicate left or right (same result in both cases) neither the flasher module seem to engage (no clicking from it) nor do I get any kind of signal indicator on the dash. Neither front nor rear signals do ANYTHING.
I was looking through my copy of the electrical FSM to see if I could get any insight... I thought I might be able to trace the circuit to a vulnerable splice that got soaked (or a terminal) - splice Z1 and another whose name I forgot seem like places to check - but I wouldn't know where to begin looking really. No other functions seem to be impaired at this time.
So - judging from the symptoms - can anyone recommend a decent means of diagnosing the problem?? It really sucks because now I can't REALLY drive without being super paranoid about the signals and getting pulled over and/or getting into an accident...!! : (
oh yeah- one more thing... I checked the connections to my ARB front bumper and cleaned them out with De-Oxit but it didn't make a difference. It's been dry for at least a week now... and I'd have hoped the problem would have gone away by now - but no....
