I noticed an oddity with the directional signals on my M35A2 the other
day. In order to get it registered, I needed to have a LEO do a vehicle
equipment check. He was doing the inspection, checking the front lights
& directional signals with the engine running, signals were working
fine. He moved to the rear and I decided to turn the engine off so I
could hear him. So I turned the accessory switch off, pulled out the
engine stop and turned the accessory switch back on again.
The LEO asked for the left directional signal, I turned the signal lever
down and nothing happened! No left signal, no right signal, no indicator
light flashing. Flipped the lever up and down, wiggled the harness
connector, nothing!
LEO asked for brake lights. I pressed on the brakes, stop lights came
on, and the directional signals started working again! Passed my
inspection OK, but this has me wondering -- Is this normal practice that
the directional signals won't work after turning the accessory switch on
until AFTER the stop lights are activated, or is this something that
needs fixing? Has anyone else noticed this on thier vehicle?
