Turn Signal Problem HELP!
 
My right turn signal just stopped working. On the dash the light stays at a constant burn but nothing happens on the blinker. I checked the fuse and it is fine. I checked and replaced the bulb and that did not work any advice?

flasher. its not blinking on either bulb? hazards work? parking lamp lights?

Flasher went bad.
On third gens, its under the driver side dash, toward the center consule. I can't imagine its much different on a 4th gen. It looks like a little circlar thing with three metal prongs.

it might be the square style though. should be under the driver kick panel up in the rats nest.

hazards work. every other turn signal works including the back. Could it still be the flasheR?

so the bulb in question lights when you put on the parking lamps and when you operate the hazards? i would try a flasher. it may be the same unit for the turn signal and hazards so you can try swapping it. report back after this.

Check out all of your bulbs. I had a similar problem, and it ended up being one of the bulbs. The glass separated from the metal socket and was doing weird things. The bulb wasn't truly burnt out. Pull out each bulb on the right side, examine the sockets and general condition of the bulbs.

Since the left and hazards work I don't think it would be the flasher. You could probably swap a flasher from another vehicle since it takes only a minute or two to do, provided you have a vehicle with the same flasher.

agreed..check all of your bulbs..I had the same exact problem and it ended up being the small turn signal in my front corner light.

checked it again and the bulb lights up when i have the parking lights on but it doesnt light up when i have the turn signal on but the back light does but the rear doesnt blink so i guess ill have to buy a flasher

maybe you're out of blinker fluid =P

sweetbmxrider 08-11-2009 01:32 PM

well its a dual filament bulb. i was just curious that it wasn't another issue there. if it works with the hazards but not the blinker its possibly a flasher, socket, wiring, or turn signal switch. if the flashers are the same for hazards and turn signals, i would just flip them and see if it changes anything. cheaper than just spending money unnecessarily. if that does nothing, you should really probe the wire and see where you have power and where you lose it.
