Default Weird...About Clear Corners.

I got some clear corners off of ebay. I put em in the other day. The problem is, is that the turn signals were working fine at 1st but then the left one went out. The weird part is I noticed when I turned it on the green light for the turn signal inside the car just stayed lit and it wasnt clicking/flashing. The right side was working fine though. Later that night I went to move cars around the driveway, checked them, and it was working fine. Today they were working fine and then later they both went out. The back ones still work and the tiny lights in the corners work but they just stay on instead of blink and the big bulbs are the ones not working. Haven"t really messed with it yet but maybe someone can tell me some things to try. I checked all the fuses already.

your probably getting some water or condensation thru the clear corners, theyre infamous for that. the blinkers inside the car stay on to let you know a bulb is out. try taking your clear corners back out and sealing where there may be any openings letting water in.(do a search and you can find instructions) then change your bulbs, and hopefully you'll be all set

The bulb maybe came out off the socket or got damaged. if the bulb is fine, then its probably the flasher, but id say bulb since they where recently messed with.

Same thing happened to me the other day. I guess water got down into them (even though I sealed them with RTV) when it snowed and melted on it b/c the friggin headlights don't sit flush with the front anymore
