Angry Weird blinker issue....

Weird Issue.... today my left side blinkers would not blink when the stick was pushed down, they would just stay on, none of the bulbs are out... i just replaced the 2 in the rear... and they worked.... fine... ALSO when i hit my brake pedal... all the lights light up in the rear EXCEPT for the left side.... =-\

well i thought so also... but all of the lights go on when the parking lights are on, and brighten up when the brakes are hit and turn signal triggerd, but they just stay on when the turn signal is triggered... they dont blink...

I had the same trouble when I first got my car, check for corosion where you plug the bulb in. It might just need a good cleaning.

Ok, I was just backing up what you said as I have had the same problem, exactly what KC Formula did, but in a different way. Why did you jump all over me, when other people did the same things??? I don't remember doing anything to you to warrant that response.

I'm sorry I couldn't add any more useful info to a simple problem. Next time I will go into a detailed explanation

I just thought I would back you up, like many do on this forum.

Could be the sockets. I have replaced three on the rear and that seemed to solve the issues everytime.

It's probably your flasher, its underneath the dash cover on a pink clip attached to a metal brace.

If the flasher was bad then neither side would blink.

Actually as weird it sounds I had only one side go out and after replacing everything it ended up turning out to be the flasher.
