General Maintenance & Repairs - no signal light??

my drivers side signal light is totally out? when you turn the lights on the bulb turns on(kinda dim) but when you turn the signal it doesnt do anything. on the inside of the car the marker turns green and just stays there? i replaced the bulb in it what else could it possibly be?

my car is a 98 trans-am

i have the same exact problem. I think its my bulb socket, its burnt out cause water got in during the winter. So its all caroded (check spelling). I have all kinds of problems with my lights, like my brake lights wont go on but the one on the wing does. I know they work cause they light up. Im going to just end up dropping it of at the dealer and have them charge me an arm and a leg. I just dont like messing with electrical stuff

i dont like messing with electrical stuff either this is a real pain in the arse to be honest my sockets for my signal lights were caroded and bunt looking as well ima try getting new sockets that my be it if not ima drop mine off at dealer as well the would probably charge me 250 bucks for a 20minute job but i got to have it done

dont take it to a dealer, go to the auto parts store and buy the 5 dollar socket and put it in ,its really not that hard to do.

yeah 98 ta ima try that first and see how it goes i have tried alot of things but still no luck. i got my system hooked up and the next day it stops working.............. hopefully thats not it

yeah man im just trying to save you some money, i work at a dealership and i know how they screw people

This thread had nothing to do with:

...so I moved it here where it belongs:

In the future please post in the correct section.

Check out every other bulb there is that might be causing trouble. They guy who painted my car had installed the wrong kind of bulb when he put my car back together and that was causing problems with the turning signals.
