Default Quick, I Need Help Asap. Please Read!!!!

When I put my LEFT turn signal on, the arrow on the dashboard stays solid green. It does not flash and it does not making that ticking noise. When I put the RIGHT signal on, it flashes and makes the ticking noise. The LEFT turn signal bulb does not light up. But when I put my lights on, or parking lights, then it lights up. Just not when I put my turn signal on. Is it something as easy as changing the bulb? Cause if the bulb was bad, why would it light up for all other function except the turn signal? Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bulb is dead. It's a double filament so that's why it works with lights.

so, just replace the bulb and its all good? cause i put my hazards on, and the left turn signal bulb doesnt light up. It doesnt light up when i put the turn signal on. But it works with my daytime running lights and regular headlights on.

The flasher part of the bulb died. Replace the bulb and you're good. It's happened to me before more than once. You're either lucky or haven't had your car long if you haven't had to yet.

In that case, it could be that your turn signal flicker thing is dead. They are cheap to replace tho, so you might as well give it a shot.

Left and Right signals use the same flasher.
If one side works and the other doesnt, then its not the flasher.

In this case, the socket or the wires going to it have corroded or been damaged.
