Default Blinker won't work

Recently my blinker just stopped working on me, replaced the bulb and worked fine.
One week later the light still works but it won't blink...
Also the left blinker light is noticeably brighter than the right, maybe it's the bulb?

check the inside of the plug by pulling the bulb out. They sometimes melt the plastic inside and you'll have to replace the entire plug.

ditto on the new plug. Had the same problem twice before. It was about $7. Also i like the sylvania brand better for the front signals, look better and seem to last longer. IMO

I would personally think it was a bulb. The 3057, 3157 that go in them are dual element. Sometimes just one element stops working.
