    i was just wondering if any one could help with a problem. well it not really a problem mostly just annoying.
    i hit a deer last winter right where the rt fender and the hood meet. ever since then my rt signal dash light likes to flicker on then fade away once in a while, it doesn't do it all the time but im thinkin maybe its a short but i dont kno. it kinda sux anyway so if anyone has any ideas let me kno
    Thanx

    Check your wiring in the hareness around the light. It sound like a wire got cut some and is shorting out.

    The ground wire might be loose - an impact like that can do a lot.

    Mine does that sometimes and it is the ground on the turnsignal bucket,( what the lens bolts to ) 2 bolts that hold it on, I just tighten them a little and it fixes it on mine, yors may be different but try that :thumbs2:
