2006 montana front signal light problems!!!

[don_off_the_rock]

I have a 06 pontiac montana sv6. I'll get right to it. In the day time either both my front signal lights work or just the right one. At night when the drl come on neither front signal lights work. Also noticed my headlights flicker. Is this a ground isue and where do I start. Thank you

My signal lights did the same and i decided to get new ones and so far its working. The weird thing is the old ones looked ok

So urs didnt work at all at night either, not even the running light. Cause mine don't do anything at night. Not even light up.

All my lights worked but signal lights wouldnt.then maybe 20 minutes later they would

check the condition of the sockets first, poor connection or corrosion

Thanks a lot guys, I checked the condition of the sockets and both are in poor condition. I had one spare for the left and changed it. Now left side works great. Just need one for the right side.

I checked engine to battery ground... it is not working properly and those symptoms are primarily bad Ground... and there is a fusible link from the engine to ground... Changed that and problem goes away... Turn lights on during day and front flashers (turn signals dont work. Block the light from getting to the light sensors on the dash and problem starts... too much load on the ground circuit back to the battery... Grounds G100 and G101 come back from head lamps and the turn signals... but when head lamps are on the flasher cannot work because they are using all the current capacity of those grounds... but Where does it need to be fixed??
