    Turn Signal / Brake light issue

    Okay, removed the LED units, installed 4 new 3057 bulbs, and it works just like it should. So, thanks so much.....you were correct. I guess that there is something wrong in the circuitry inside the lights. I still have the original taillight housings, so I will just re-install them for now...

    Turn Signal / Brake light issue

    Mr. Sam, Ended up working late last night, so I didn't get a chance to change the bulbs. I'll try to get to it tonight. I do have a question. When you turn the lights on, do the taillights still use the same ground? I seem to remember that on an old C3 Corvette I once owned that the...

    Turn Signal / Brake light issue

    Mr. Sam, The very first diagnosis (I should have mentioned this in my first post....sorry) from a local shop was the multifunction switch. I don't guess I have to tell you much more. A new (AC Delco) multifunction switch had no effect on the problem, so you are correct in that assessment...

    Turn Signal / Brake light issue

    Mr. Sam, Thank you for your response. You very well could be correct, and I can check this pretty easily by removing the LED units and plugging in the OEM bulbs, so I will do that, hopefully tomorrow night after work. The only reason I've not already tried this test, is because I assumed that...

    Turn Signal / Brake light issue

    Okay, here is what I have: I installed the halo style LED taillights over 5 years ago, along with ballast resistors. Never had a problem until now. Front light bulbs are regular bulbs. Now this is my issue. Headlights/Parklights off: All turn signals work normally (dash indicators work fine...

    Important! C5 Column Lock debunked

    Okay, finally the weather and my work schedule cooperated. The car was on a "battery maintainer", so I took that off, and disconnected the neg. cable for 5 mins and reconnected. After that, the battery showed 12.7 V on my multimeter. I then started the car (no message) and went to a local...

    Important! C5 Column Lock debunked

    Sorry for the delay in responding.....I'm out of town for the holiday. I will follow these suggestions to the letter when I get back home (and the weather lets me out of the garage!). Thanks for the help, guys. I'm sure we'll get this solved! :beer

    Important! C5 Column Lock debunked

    New problem. Some 3 years ago I found this site because of the standard CL problem. I had installed a Bypass, and after watching the vids, and exchanging some posts with C4C5specialist, removed it and cured the issue......until now. All this time (since removing the CLB) I could hear the...

    Steering Column Lock - Solution???

    So far, so good. No issues all week, and we're heading out to Maggie Valley (Vettes in the Valley) later this morning, so there will be plenty of starts/stops the next few days. Based on recent history, if nothing happens during that period, then my mind will be eased significantly! Thanks...

    Steering Column Lock - Solution???

    Thanks so much. I did just that this afternoon. We've been out since, and so far so good.......but I know that it will be a little while before I really can tell if it's made a change. I am very confident that this is THE fix............thanks so much. It even seemed to drive better tonight...

    Steering Column Lock - Solution???

    Thanks for the quick response. I just checked the codes, and there are none, either IPC, PCM, or BCM. All read "no codes". I do not have a torque wrench that I can get to the battery termimals, but they are tight.......I didn't wring them off, but they are tight. Is removing the CLB the...

    Steering Column Lock - Solution???

    I hate for my first post here to be a question, but that's what brought me to find this forum, so it's as good as any place to start. I've had a '98 A4 since last June. Nice, well maintained, garage kept, low mileage, you know the story........our dream car. Once we found it and bought it...
