Default Electrical Problems.. Need Some Assistance

So i bought a new battery for my car hooked it all up everything's all good, but my blinker's dont work.. The blinker outside will turn on but not blink and so will the arrow on my dash but nothing will flash or blink.. And on my right side nothing on the inside comes on or blinks.. What could the possible reasons be.. If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated


Big, D

^ What he said. And check the light fixtures for corrosion at the plug connector, or inside the socket. Also, while the turn signals are on, reach up under the dash on the drivers side and grab some wires and jiggle them up and down, back and forth. If that makes the lights work, start looking for the bad wire or connection. Sometimes those wires can break from old age, and the junction plugs can get corroded too.

My 2001 z28 had the same problem when the alternater was failing. I was stuck in traffic having to keep it in nuetral to keep the rpms up so the alternator wouldnt completly fail. once the charge got into the red zone though nothing worked the dash lights turned off and my blinkers stoped blinking. id say check ur alternator if nothing else works.
