so i just bought this sr20 s13 and it was in the day time i bring it home to try to drive it and the front passenger light is off, but the passenger tailight signal is on? i think they are mixed up? i put led turn signal bulbs but i dont think that is the problem because the drivers side is good.

please let me know any advice on this problem would help is it a short or hopefully an easy fix. again thanks people

sorry for being confusing. the front passenger turnsignal is off it wont come on but the passenger rear turn signal stays on at all times when the lights are on. and on the gauge cluster the signal is light at all times?

If the viper alarm was recently put in and they tapped for the dome light trigger or door wire then they picked the wrong wire. The wire behind the dimmer switch left side of steering wheel red with blue stripe wire is the right wire. Good luck.

The alarm has been in the remote was out of.charge and now.its charged and I used it for the first time last night. If the front light bulb is out does that mean the rear will stay on I'm so confused

And BTW what I ment by the alarm has been in was it was already installed with no problems but I never activated it due to the remote was out of battery

-Take your LED bulbs out and put in a regular bulbs on front and rear
-inspect connectors and wiring for the signal lights while your in there
-replace flasher relay
-if all that fails either go over alarm wiring or find someone who can.

sounds more like an issue with the alarm than with the lighting system. unless your confusing the marker lights with the turn signal lights.
