Turn signal not blinking.
Front left DRL works, but doesn't blink. The right side works fine.
The bulb did bust earlier and I replaced it with another one. It worked for a few hours then stopped again. The bulb will turn on, but just won't blink.
In the dash, it doesn't show as blinking either. The light just stays on.
I believe water is the culprit. I never did clean out the socket before I put the new bulb in.
Do Camaros also have the dual filament bulbs?

Ok, I got it. I hope.
One of the connectors on the bulb was burned. There was also a waxy substance all over the socket...
Anyways, I cleaned it out as good as I could and put a new bulb in. It works so far..let's hope I don't have to go back in there.
Another thing, the remnants from the old bulb are still in the housing. Is there anyway I can get it out without taking it out.
I'm thinking i'll try a vacuum and try to suck the broken bulb pieces out of there.
