Default Turn Signal turns "on" but doesnt blink

My left turn blinker will not blink it just stays "on". If I turn the hazards on it will blink. I do not have any lights out or anything. Thoughts?

Had the same issue, recheck your turn signals. For me it ended up being the front.

New flasher should fix it.

I think the rear tail light has more then 1 flashing bulb. Check the working rear flashing light and compare to the rear non flashing light. In the front there is only 1 flashing bulb. In every car I have ever worked on and owned, a steady "on" light means a bad bulb. The flasher is working on the hazard (4-way) mode, so I think the flasher is ok.

There is a separate flasher for the hazards.
Turn signal flasher should fix it.

+1 for the flasher bulb. Had 2 of them go out on me. Takes all of 10 minutes to swap out!
