Hi, I just recently put in new sockets for my front signals for my Honda Civic 93. When i signal left or right, all of my front and back signals seem to flash as if hazards are on. Also,the lights inside my car(AC Light, Parking Brake,) also flash like the signal lights.

But when i take the front signals back off, i use the left signal and the back left works fine without the right side flashing.

Can someone tell me whats wrong with my car?

Hey thanks for the input... but i found out that i used the wrong bulb (1156LL) which was a singular input. The right one (1157LL) was dual.

I hope this helps out people who have had this problem before.

Suggested Repair

Install the correct dual-filament 1157 bulbs in the front turn signal sockets instead of single-filament 1156 bulbs. If the problem continues, check that the socket wiring is correct and that the ground is good.

Conversation Summary

A 1993 Honda Civic owner installed new front turn signal sockets, then found that using either turn signal made all front and rear signals and some interior lights flash as if the hazards were on. With the front signals removed, the rear left signal worked normally. An expert suggested incorrect wiring or a bad ground. The owner later reported that single-filament 1156 bulbs had been installed instead of the correct dual-filament 1157 bulbs.
