Well my Flashers flash but my turn signals don't blink unless I manually blink it with my finger. .. They light up when I click iy on but they only stay lit upinstead of blinking.... do I have the same problem?
If all of your bulbs are in good working order, then you need flashers.

So I said screw it. I went to a junk yard, and cut off a front blinker off a Grand AM. Just about all GM cars use these. Hopped on ebay, ordered a new set of front housings, hopped on superbrightled.com and ordered the CORRECT amber daytime running lights with blinkers leds. This fixed my problem, and the front end looks brand new again. HOWEVER, if you do this you have to upgrade the flashers for leds, or they will hyper flash.

So the front driver side drl works, it flashes when I unlock the car, but emergency flashers or blinkers it won't light up so maybe the second stage of the bulb is bad or something is wrong up front with the lighting

Verdad Gallardo More times than not, it's just a bad bulb or socket. Try popping in new bulbs. My car had the black plastic base on the light melt in addition to the bulb blowing. Once I dug the old plastic out and put a new bulb in, it was all good.
