Ford G6 turn signal electrical issue

Hey, I've got a weird electrical issue with my 2013 Ford G6, gasoline engine, around 201080 km on the clock. My right turn signal is acting up. I'm getting an error stored in the error memory, plus an error message constantly flashing on the speedometer. Obviously, there's a fault in the lighting somewhere. I've checked the bulb itself, and it seems fine. I suspect it might be a dodgy cable or plug connection. Has anyone else run into something similar?

Sounds familiar! I had a similar headache with my old Opel Astra a few years back. Same symptoms – error message, flickering light, the whole shebang. Did you try wiggling the wires connected to the signal lamp assembly? Sometimes that can temporarily fix it, or at least point to a loose connection.

Yeah, I tried wiggling the wires a bit, but no luck so far. When you had the issue with your Astra, was it a pain to diagnose the faulty connection or did you just get it fixed at a shop? What was the resolution?

Honestly, after messing with it for an afternoon and getting nowhere, I took it to a shop. Turned out to be a corroded connector deep inside the wiring harness. Since you've already tried the basic checks, I'd recommend getting it professionally diagnosed before you start tearing things apart. Could save you a lot of time and frustration.

Thanks for the advice! I was hoping to avoid a trip to the shop, but you're probably right. I'll schedule an appointment and let them sort it out. The estimated cost for repair including parts is around 95€. Hopefully, it will fix the issue.
