Sounds like low blinker fluid to me.

Or less likely, a blown bulb.

Under the dash there is a blinker module. Its a small grey cylinder.
Probably just need one of those.
Autozone/Junkyards will have plenty.

Looks like this

Those bulbs are DUAL filament.

Just get a new 3457 or 3157. I bet it works..... My TA used to do this when I'd drive for a while in the rain.

You actually have 2 flasher relays under the dash. The one on the left is for the hazards and the one on the right the normal blinker. If you hit the hazards and all the light work fine, then its probably the other flasher. Otherwise its a bulb or maybe even a bad bulb socket.

Sometimes, yes, and sometimes not. The electrical resistance is slightly different on each side of the car, which can cause a boarderline thermal flasher to behave differently on each side.

Dude, the same thing would happen with my Trans am. All the lights WILL blink when you put on the hazards. The turn signal filiment, not the steady on, has went out on the right side.

Replace the bulb

There's 3 things that can be it.
-bulbs
-blinker module(located under steering wheel)
-daylight running module(black box behind stereo)

Glad I could help a little... LOL

Always seems like you get one hing fixed, just for another issue to rear it's ugly head.
