HELP! right turn signal doesnt work! (2000 WS.6)

[ScottWernWS6]

i noticed half way from florida to kentucky that my right turn signal stopped working, the green arrow indicating my signal is on doesnt blink, it stays solid green while the turn signal is engaged to the right. the left works fine, but the right doesnt. front and rear signals are out on the right side so i dont think its the bulbs... maybe a fuse? suggestions???

It wouldn't be a fuse because both sides share the same turn signal fuse. It could the turn signal switch or maybe it is the bulbs. hit the four way hazards and walk around to see if the bulbs work

Do you mean that front and rear turn signals are out? Or that front and rear lights are out? If you mean just the turn signals, yes that is caused by the front running light bulb being bad. It's one of the most annoying problems with our cars. Did you drive through any rain? It doesn't take much water at all to get into the light casing and short out the bulb.

If this is the issue, when you replace the bulb, put some dielectric grease in the socket, that will help keep it from happening again. There are more permanent solutions, like replacing the lens casing and lining it with silicon to help prevent it from cracking...

the front and rear turn signal on the right side wont go on when i turn the right side on, and the green arrow in the dash that indicates them being on, stays solid green and doesnt make the normal click noise, until i return the turn signal,then the green arrow goes away but no resonse on the outside of the car? i havent tried the hazard, didnt think of that. im gonna try it now as i go out, but my front left headlight (lowbeam) is out too but i dont see that affecting anything?

Yep that's almost certainly a blown bulb in the front. The headlight is probably just coincidental. Also, as these are dual filament bulbs, sometimes the running lamp will be on which may make you think it's not a bulb issue. But one filament may still be working while the other has blown...
