Default clear corner prob?

i replaced my stock corners with clear ones on friday, and just noticed today that the left blinker wont blink...the light just stays on. the right one is fine.

anyone think its just a loose wire when i reconnected the left corner? i'll take a gander at it tommorrow, but i just wanted another opinion.

make sure you put silicone around the edges before they fog up!

They probably filled up with water and blew the bulb like mine did a week after I installed them.

Doubt the light would stay on and not blink if it was a blown bulb.

Check the connections on both sides. Could be a loose/pulled wire, or possibly a bad ground (that was my sisters problem on her 98 GS when the light wouldnt blink). Look over everything again, and just make sure its all straight.

And yes, seal them up with some silicone. You'll thank yourself in the long run.

You can use regular silicone, or marine grade. Pick it up at a hardware store or AutoZone (thats where I got mine frome).
