Default RH blinker

i have a 2000 ws6 6speed. pretty much stock, i bought it a couple weeks ago. yesterday i noticed that my right turn signal doesn't work. ill move the lever to the right and the green arrow just lights up and doesn't blink and i don't hear the blinker either and my rear turn signal just stays on. the left one works perfectly fine. i checked all the bulbs and they all work. can somebody please enlighten me with a solution? thank you

And thank you to shbox on this extremely helpful photo. Had the same issue on my Formula. Pay attention and make sure you don't waste time replacing the hazard flasher when you need to replace the turn signal flasher.

So what exactly am I checking for? Could it be the flasher even if one side works fine?

That is the exact same issue I had on my Formula, and it turned out to be the turn signal flasher. Really cheap and easy to replace. I got a new flasher from AutoZone.

Ok I'll check that out. Did it come with instructions?

I cannot recall if it came with directions. It is very easy to replace and self explanatory when you take the lower dash panel off. You simply unplug the old one and then plug the new one in.

Yes. It could also be a burned out bulb (in the front or rear). You van check for this easy by turning on your hazards. If the hazards and bulbs all work normally, then that points to your turn signal flasher being the problem.

I replaced the flasher and it blinks now. But the front bulb is really dim. I just changed it a month ago

Which bulb did you use? The sockets will take a few different types, with different brightness.

There are two filaments in the bulbs. One for the DRL/Turn signals and another for the parking lights.

Do you see a difference in the brightness when your DRLs and turn signals are on? When your parking lights are on?

Are the lights on the rear of the car all normal?
