Blinker problem? Don't blink stay solid?
Both my front blinker lights and rear blinker lights won't blink? They do light up but only stay solid! Any help? Thanks

probably the flasher, i had the same problem, got a new one and still had it. the mechanism inside that clicks would get stuck. the new one i had was clear so i could see when it would get stuck. i would usually thump it on the side with my finger adn it would work a few times and get stuck again. had the car for 6 yrs like that

The F-Body has two thermal flashers.
One flasher operates the left/right signals
The other flasher operates the hazards.
Turn on the hazards and look for lights that arent flashing.
The ones that arent flashing normally need to be replaced.
If they all still flash normally, replace the signal flasher.

If one side works but the other stays on solid then it's not the flasher. As VIP1 said, both side turn signals use the same flasher. The problem is a burned out bulb, bad connection, or corroded socket on the side that doesn't flash. Anything that keeps a bulb from lighting reduces the current to the point where the flasher won't heat up and break the circuit to make them flash.
If neither side works then it could still be bulbs on both sides but there's more of a chance that the flasher is the problem. The turn signal flasher is clipped to the inside of the dash panel just to the right of the opening when you remove the knee panel under the steering column.
Or, it could be that you need to top up your blinker fluid
