GC2300 Directional Light Operation

When I turn the Left turn signal on, it blinks, and the Right one comes on steady.

Is this normal operation, or do I have a wiring problem?

My GC1720 does the same so either it's normal or we both have a wiring problem.:laughing:

Ok, thanks.

That's what I suspected, but figured that if it needed to be fixed, the time to do it was when I was doing other wiring stuff.

My New Hollands do the same.

My experience with old cars would have me look for a ground problem. I don't know the theory but have always managed to fix the stuff myself.

Yeah, if I remember correctly my Kubota did also but that was a few years ago so I'm not 100% certain.

That was my suspicion. The fact that both sides worked the same made it seem less likely but thought I should check anyways.

Speaking of bad grounds, I had 2001 Mercedes that had a "bulb out" detection system that was often fooled by a weak ground in the bulb/socket connection. Even though the bulb worked perfectly fine, it still gave an error message.

There is nothing wrong with the ground on your directional lights. They are working as designed.

Yep, what arizona said. They're operating normally.
