Help with blinker!

This is nuts. The other day my blinker didn't come on, instead it was a solid green light. So I think, no big deal, I will just replace my blinker light. Well apparently, its not the easiest thing to get to, so after taking out my headlight, I easily replace the nasty bulb. Now I hit the Hazards to test... Wtf? My front blinkers alternate instead of coming on at the same time (the best way to describe it is to think of a police car (which I don't mind)). So now I try the left blinker. No work, just a solid green light. I hold the blinker handle down and the rear bulb works however, but it doesn't blink. I am confused as hell. Why are my front alternating? I know the front works because the hazards work, but why wont the blinker work?

Cliffs:
It is a 98 Camaro and I got the new bulb put in. Let me try to clarify some stuff.

-I replaced the bulb
-The right blinker works fine
- Since I have replaced the bulb the front blinkers (when in hazzard mode) will alternate like a police car.
-The left blinker does not work, but the front left bulb obviously still works considering the hazzards still work.
-When I click the left blinker all I see is a solid green light on the blinker indicator on the dash and nothing happens with the blinker.
-If I lightly press the blinker switch (so it doesn't keep blinking, just enough for a blink or two (hard to explain)) the rear blinker will stay on as long as I am holding down the switch.

I want this fixed ASAP because my inspection was due in December and I need a blinker to pass. Please help, this is my daily driver and I drive 300+ miles a week. Driving a red camaro without a blinker is just a ticket magnet.

Thanks!
