Default No driver side turn signal

The passenger side and 4 ways work but the drivers side just stays on and doesnot blink. It was doing this before I replaced the flasher 3 weeks ago and was good but now its back to its old ways. What should I look for now?

Usually when that happens, you have a busted filament on one of your blinkers. Have you checked both front and back?

Lol this is an easy fix..

Go to local parts store and purchase a new blinker flasher. it's a small canister looking thing..

If you need help installing it Pm me or ask in here, It's a simple fix!

i had the same problem except it would only do it when the head lights where on. turns out the previous owner had put the wrong flasher in there are numbers on it. the one i took out had 225 12v on it. turned out that it was to weak to handle the lights and would over heat. replaced it with one that had 442 12v on it have not had the problem since dont know what those numbers mean telling you what was told to me

I tried finding another Flasher with those numbers and no luck. Tried another flasher and the problem is still there. Hazards and the right side still works fine but the left signal just stays on. Did some searching and wow what a headache lol, hopefully I don't have to pull the steering wheel.

Fixed my turn signal. Ended up being the bulb since I never noticed it before with the DRL on.
