How to Fix My Left Turn Signial on My Viking Popup Camper

Before you take your Viking pop-up camper on the road you need to ensure the brake lights and turn signals are working. If the left signal light is not working, you should find the cause and fix it before heading on a trip. If the light is not fixed your camper is not fit for the road. You might also get a ticket.

      Remove the plastic lens housing on the left-hand side of the trailer by removing the screws with the Phillips screwdriver and lifting the housing off of the bracket. Remove the light bulb by turning it one half turn and pulling the light out. Inspect the bulb to see if the filament is still intact. If not, replace the bulb with a new one and see if the turn signal works.

      Inspect the wires at both the light assembly and the connector to the car. Ensure that the wires are intact and not worn or disconnected. If the wires are disconnected at either location, strip a portion of the protective coating off of the wire and reconnect the wire to the light assembly or connector.

      Remove and inspect the trailer fuse for the turn signals. Observe the fuse, which is similar to an automotive fuse. If you notice the metal strip is broken, replace the fuse.
