Default blinker light failure

i have an 02 ws6 and my passenger side blinker doesnt stay on all the time like the driver side does. it does come on when i use my blinker SOMETIMES but not always. ive changed the bulb 3 times and it does the same thing. ive noticed other TA and Camaro's with the same problem. how do i fix this because it drives me insane. thanks.

Sounds like it's low on blinker fluid.

You're housing is probably allowing water to get inside and blowing the bulbs. I'm replacing my housings and pigtails, hoping that will cure my issue.

You can also get a cheap $8 pigtail from the parts store vs $50+ from the dealer.

We all know F bodys dont have blinker fluid. Only new GM cars require blinker fluid, duh!
