Blinker and light issue
I have a 98 trans am and my right blinker doesnt work and on the dash its just a solid light. Also my amber light underneath isnt working at all and when i turn on the blinker my tail light is solid. Just thought I would check and see if someone may have had this problem before I go buying different things that dont fix it. Is it just the bulb?
Thanks
Thanks

I agree with the above mentioned advice. I had a similar issue on my 96, it turned out to be the bulb socket that kept going out, it had a small amount of corrosion and it would intermitently screw with the brake light and the turn signal. I put a new $9.00 bulb socket in and no more issue with brake and turn signals.

I had the EXACT same issue. I had a corroded socket and a burnt out bulb. Then when I was done I drilled a hole in the housing that holds the light which I'm not sure what you call it haha, but I did that so the water could drain out of there easily when it rains.

On my first T/A I went through many bulbs and both front sockets before replacing the housings themselves. On my new T/A I replaced both housings when the first bulb blew. Not only do they look better than the old faded stockers, no more failed turn signal bulbs!

i mean you guys. same exact problem.
for sometime i thought it was because of the cold weather and the blinker fluid froze but guess not.
(its a joke dont take me serious)
