Front turn signals.. won't work, and the tail light signals will stay on and won't blink. Don't know what to start to replace, whether it's a fuse, the lights themselves, or what to look for.

There are these round/cylindrical metal looking things under your dash. You gotta remove the bottom part of your dash. Like the part near your knees when u sit in the drivers side chair. And you will have one on the left and nother on the right. Pretty simple to replace.(i believe they are what the lights click aka turn on and off.)
If ou checked the fuses, then it might be what i described above. I bought em and changed it righ there while in the autp part parking lot.

yeah it seems that my turn signals stop working after one of my front bulbs got burned, so I put new ones and they still wont work, so yall think the best chance might be a burnt fuse, if it is which one is it?

Go pick up a bottle of blinker fluid when you get this done, it will help prevent the blibkers from acting up again. They keep it behind the counter at Autozone.

The fuse that makes them blink is not in the fuse box. Take the panel off under the steering wheel ( above your shins when sitting in car) and look to the right(when facing forward). It will be clipped on the inside of a black metal rail. You really cant see it, look for the clip and a wire running near it. It is a silver cylinder about an inch and a half in diameter. It took me 30 minutes to find it my first time. Id change the bulb 1st, thats usually the culprit.

There are two flashers. Did you replace them both? (btw thats what i was reffering to in my post up top. Lord i will learn the names of these parts if it kills me). I believe there is a turning indicator fuse under the hood. I think so. Dont remember. You may want to check.
Lastly, where your front turn bulbs go. Sometimes they can get rusted and like gunky. You may wanna brush it out with like a wire brush and make sure that the contact area is clean. I believe it unclips and comes out.
You may wanna check if it is getting like elecrtical current with that tool that lights up. Cause that part that holds the bulb may have gone bad.

Where your right knee goes when u drive. Its like locked in place and u gotta snap it out. I believe u have to undo the panel under the steering wheel if i remember right.
