so can Vasya look at the mistakes?

Ukraine will be a bread and spiritual granary!

A possible cause is damage to the wiring harness at the transition from their door to the A-pillar.
But there are others

When buying a car, I was deceived by the seller) When asked why the turn signal does not light up? He replied, it just burned out, I need to change it, I was led) I bought it, went home, came to the area to the spare parts store to change the lamp, I saw that there was no cartridge and lamp in the headlight, while I was looking for a cartridge (the cartridge was not easy to buy, only from disassembly) passed time, put the car on the numbers ... Somehow, while getting out in the trunk, I found a cartridge from the turn signal, fortunately there was no side-chapel =) I went and bought a lamp, I insert it into the headlight and it is CONSTANTLY ON, the turn signal lamp in the left headlight is constantly on, it does not react to anything!

I took out the lamp and started googling.

Found out that - xenon is evil! (There was a xenon show with trompe l'oeil - the previous owner put it)

I found out that you need to change the comfort unit, the car is not under warranty, the replacement of the unit comes out to a penny from 15 thousand plus more keys to prescribe after changing the unit - in short, I scored on this topic.

Time passed, I did not remove the xenon, the next one, the right direction indicator, was out of order, it was constantly on, I pulled out the lamp - and still decided to remove the xenon! Eureka =)

I started looking for ways to solve the problem, I found people who can repair the central electronics unit for money, the prices were different, from three to eight thousand rubles, and if you urgently look for only expensive repairs, for three thousand I offered to repair an advertising character completely without not a shkodovod)

At that time, the car was needed, there was no time to repair, he did not repair it. And so without direction indicators in the headlights, I drove for almost a year =)

And only now, the stars converged and I decided to solve the problem radically!

After examining all the comments and posts on the repair, I disassembled the block - I looked at it visually.

I saw such traces of rust on the board.

It immediately became clear which microcircuit needs to be changed)) I bought the same one in the store.

I found a person who would re-solder the board for me, gave him the block, he re-soldered it to me.

The next day, I put the unit back in place, connected the battery and eureka !, in the right headlight, the turn signal started working!

We began to drip which microcircuit is responsible for the left side, there is no information on the pinout of the block. found the headlight diagrams. They looked for a pin on the block.

I figured out the culprit for the not working turn signal in the left headlight, bought the same mikruhu and gave it to the guy to re-solder.

He did everything right, everything fell into place, goodbye to the burned-out lamp icon on the instrument panel)!

Comfort block, I beat you!

The price of the issue is symbolic, soldering mikruhu is not an easy job, 1 hour for 1 mikruhu, you need special equipment, many thanks to the person who soldered!
