DRL/Turn Signal snafu? (half working.. wtf?)
As you know, the Camaro and Firebird share a DRL/Signal system. However the T/A's is different due to wiring, so I thought I'd post this little tale and cry for help here:
So I'm driving down the freeway and go to switch lanes from the left lane to right.
Flick my stick for right blinker. I get a solid green arrow.
Odd..? Must be a bad solenoid.
Get home, and check my system. Sure enough my lamps are lit up solid. Clymer says to check my bulbs; they light just fine. Check my DRL bulbs, they light just fine. A few hours later I lose my DRLs on the passenger side completely.
So now I have no Right signals (aside from the dual filaments lighting solid to 'indicate' which direction I'm going) and my right side DRLs are dead.
Running lights however work.
I repeat.
My running lights work.
W.T.F?
Anyone else know if this is just a whacky short or if it's the DRL module gone awry? Or my blinker module gone (blinks/clicks fine for left signal, but right is no bueno.) **** up?
Halp.
I'd get pics but my garage is too small to get quality shots.

This happened to me when I bought my ws6 a few weeks back. First off I put new bulbs in, didn't help, so I then bought a new socket and spliced it in, still nothing, I then bought a new flasher (under your steering column) and now they all work perfect!
