John Deere 002370.05 – Dash: Right Turn Signal Low Amp Draw
Issue description
The Dash Module has detected lower than expected electrical current (low amp draw) in the right-hand turn signal circuit. This indicates an abnormal electrical condition, such as an open circuit, high resistance, or a component failure, that prevents the normal amount of electricity from flowing when the right turn signal is activated, affecting its proper operation.

Check the cause
Visually inspect the right turn signal bulbs (front and rear) to ensure they are not burned out and are securely seated in their sockets
Inspect the fuse panel for any blown fuses related to the lighting or turn signal circuits
With the right turn signal activated, use a multimeter to check for voltage at the bulb socket
Carefully examine the wiring harness and connectors leading to the right turn signal lights for chafed insulation, breaks, corrosion, or a faulty diode
Test the turn signal switch for continuity across the switch terminals when activated
Inspect the flasher relay or control module (typically located under the dash) for faults
Repair steps
Replace bulb
If a bulb is blown, incorrect, or poorly connected (most common cause), replace the right turn signal bulbs with the correct OEM-specified part.
Replace fuse
If a lighting or turn signal fuse is blown, replace it with a new fuse of the correct amperage rating.
Repair wiring and connectors
If there is no voltage at the bulb socket or visible damage is found in the harness, repair the damaged wiring or install OEM repair connectors.
Replace turn signal switch
If the turn signal switch fails the continuity test, replace the switch assembly.
Replace flasher relay or control module
If bulbs and wiring are intact, replace the flasher relay or control box. Note: On advanced models where the flasher function is integrated into a larger control unit (CCU/BCU), dealer-level diagnostics may be required.
