Right Turn Signal
Right Turn Signal On my 99 Formula, When I turn on my right turn signal, the arrow stays solid, no blinking and dosent make a noise, and the right side turn signal lights do not come on. The left turn signal dosent have any problems whatsoever. Any ideas on what could be going on?

That's to tell you that the bulb is no longer good.....however, the bulb may be fine - and there could be a loose connection, etc.. try hitting the light housing gently, opening it up and visually checking the bulb, actually test the bulb, test the socket with another bulb, etc. etc...

Most of the time this problem is caused by a burned out bulb - especially the front bulb. The easiest way to check is to turn on your hazard flashers and walk around the car looking for the lamp that doesn't flash. The front is suspect because they tend to get water in them. You should also check the bulb socket because that water causes corrosion that will prevent the light from working properly. If the corrosion isn't too bad then clean it out and apply some dielectric grease to keep moisture out. If the socket is too far gone then you can get replacements at the local auto parts store for about $10 each.

Just be careful on the front turn signal bulbs as the glass tends to be a bit brittle over time. I had the pleasure of one shattering between my first finger and thumb when trying to pull it out of the socket. Blood everywhere!! The front turn signal sockets tend to burn up a bit too. Have a look at that while your in there. Couple people have had issue with that (including myself) and not the bulb. Good luck!!
