Default Blinker problem

Guys I have searched and read every thread and can't find anyone who has had this exact issue.

2001 trans am, driver side driving/blinker won't work. When lights are off and driving down the road the light isn't on when it should be. But light comes on when lights are on.

It will not blink when blinker or hazard light is on. I have replaced the flasher, and the socket.

The blue wire isn't getting any power when blinker is on. I have traced wire all the way to the fire wall with no issues found.

Please help!!!!!

So, you DRL on that side doesn't work and the turn signal and hazards on that side don't work under any circumstance? (headlights on or off)

The flasher actually drives solenoids in the DRL module, which control the final illumination of the DRL/turn signal filament. You should check the inputs and outputs on that module. It could be bad and the source of your problem.

Thank you for your help, that was my issue, I just ran the wires together there and problem solved, no driving lights, but I do not care for them anyways.

Thanks again
