All lights work, left blinker doesn't?
All of my lights work but when I put my left blinker on it won't blink. It just stays solid. I'm pretty sure this is from driving in the rain the other day but wouldn't it just not even light up if the blinker didn't work? Usually I can tell which light is out by having them all on and putting the blinkers on.

if it were a blown bulb the light wouldn't even light up. ALL the lights still work, it just won't flash. i don't get it. how does that happen. i still get the solid arrow on the dash indicating a light IS out, i jsut can't figure out which one.

This happens ALL the time on my TA. The turn signal will light up when the lights are turned on but won't flash when I turn the blinker on. It's just the bulb becomes a little loose inside the socket and won't flash but will light up. I would just pull your socket out and make sure the bulb is fully seated in the socket.

yep, just pulled the front left blinker bulb and the socket was wet. the bulb's orange tint had shattered off in to little pieces. what can i use to clean dirty bulb sockets? i'm sure the others are filthy and full of water as well!
i must be missing the panels that go under my bumper to keep dirt/rain from getting to them. where can i get those? part numbers?
