Turning signal issue please help
Ok I hav a 93 z28 Camaro. I'm having an issue with my passenger side front and rear turning signal and brake light. When I put my headlights on everything lights up just fine. but when I push down the brakes I don't have a brake light on passenger side. When I put my right turning signal on I just get a solid green indicator on my dashboard and my turning signals don't work. All of the drivers side light however do work. Can somebody please tell me what my problem is and how to fix it thank you very much.
Also I hav seen people hav this problem only when they're headlights are on but my turning signals or breake light don't work if the headlights are on or off I don't think it has anything to do with my headlights

Sounds like either the front or rear, probably rear socket is bad. At least the ground. I can't remember if the rear bulb is a round socketed bulb with the metal tabs on the side but if someone has forced it in 180 degrees out of turn than what it should be, it will cause the exact issue you are experiencing. About drove myself crazy with that on a Jeep truck I have until I realized the bulb was in the wrong way.

Yes, What I mean by socket is the plastic molded piece the bulbs fit into. They can go bad over time or get corrision in them. The ground is usually a brown or green wire going into the socket. Usually, if poor ground at the socket, it is internally or where the wire is soldered onto the metal that connects to the light bulb.
have you tried replacing the bulbs? they are a double filiment bulb so the parking light can work and the brake/blinker can be burnt out. odds of both burning out would be very high. 1 in alot. lol. check and make sure your bulbs are in correctly. you need to push in on the bulb then turn counter clockwise a bit and pull out. there are two pins that come out of the bulbs metal part, they are offset so the bulb can only go in one way, like duck sayin a worn light socket can allow for a bulb to be inserted the wrong way. again the odds of this hapening to both front and back lights on one side are fairly high.
