check your bulbs in the front and rear. if it is staying on and not flashing..its a bulb OR the wiring to the bulb is bad. had bad wires after a 100k miles and if they shook loose they'd stop flashing. check bulbs first

A flasher works on current draw. The more draw, the faster they flash. And if the current draw is too low, it won't flash at all, it will just come on and stay on.
So I agree, the easy check is the bulbs. The contacts for the bulb could also have become corroded over time, not allowing enough current to flow to the bulb.

When I did my rears, I changed them all at the same time. They were all the same age, after all, and would have failed soon anyway. And clean the contacts when you do it, they will have at least a little corrosion on them.

My left works and right does when it wants to. The bulb is very dim though. I suspect a ground issue inside the plug, but haven't taken the time to clean inside. It's not grimy or anything. I replaced all my bulbs too, so that's not it :\ Some days it work's fine, some days it works very slow, some days it just doesn't work. Very annoying.
