Default Blinker issue


Today I noticed that when I turn my left blinker on the light just stays on and does not blink. The right one works fine as well as the hazards. The only fuse I could find was for both blinkers any idea on this problem?

Could be a burned out bulb in either the tail light or front marker. See if both are lit with the left blinker turned on.

Hazards make them blink like they normally would, both front and back. Blinker does neither

Blinker doesn't even light up the front or back?

When was the last time you re-packed your blinker bearings?
You might want to look at your turn signal relay then (under the dash, right of the steering column I believe). The hazards use a different relay (left of the column).

It's going to be bulb and more than likely not a relay seeing as how it only does this when turned to the left position. The left bulb.

If it was just the bulb I dont see the hazards working eaither, or the strange coincidence of them both burning out at the same time. Ill look into that relay I also heard it could be a ground problem and since i took the engine out of the car that might be it, maybe I forgot to hook a ground abck up but im pretty sure I got them all.

At least to narrow it down some...if the bulbs work with the hazards, the bulbs are NOT the problem with the turn signals.

That's funny, because my front left bulb doesn'tlight with the blinker (used to just stay solid), but the hazards still blinked (that bulb still didn't though)... So yes you can have a burnt out bulb that will still allow the hazards to blink, even if the individual signal stays solid.
