Default Passenger turn signal not blinking

Passenger turn signal turns on but does not blink. Any ideas? Have not looked in fuse box but I am guessing it could be a relay somewhere.

tried replacing the bulb? alot of time 1 filament will burn out causing it not to blink... the arrow will just stay on when you turn the blinker on to let you know you have a bulb out.

Same thing used to happen to me on a monthly basis. Always changed the bulb, and that always fixed it. It's been a while since it's happened, so I probably just jinxed myself, and now they will BOTH go out, and catch on fire.

Totally replace the buld...$5 fix. I notice this alot when cars in front of me seem not to signal, then when you pass them their front turn signal is going ape ****. Good thing you have LS1tech.com as THEY (everyone else) will probably loose $50+ to a mechanic to swap a bulb...this is the deetaadee factor!

How could i forget??! YES! You HAVE to replace your blinker fluid in order to maintain your blinkers. When you go to buy your bulbs, be SURE to ask for the fluid!

The bulb may be an issue, but might not solve the problem. Look at the way the bulb is sealed into the housing, that could cause more of a problem than just the bulb burning out.

Does Royal Purple have performance blinker fluid?!? I might as well upgrade while I'm at it.

It's either the bulb or the pigtail has become corroded. I am experiencing the same problem. Swapping the bulb fixed it once for me but that only lasted about a month.
