help ....my turn signals dont work
Okay I checked all the bulbs they are good.....checked the fuse its good.....tried a new turn signal flasher, it didnt fix the problem
It started this morning the left side turn signal when I turned it on the light just stayed on didnt blink.....after I got off work in the evening the right side started doing the same thing
When I turn on the hazzard lights only the rear ones work
Any ideas what it could be ?????
Its on my 2001 SS Camaro

I just took out the old hazzard flasher out and replaced it with the flasher I bought for the turn signals (same part number)........
Now my rear turn signals work but the front ones still dont blink ......and the hazzard lights on the front dont blink

when you say you checked the bulbs, what do you mean by that? Did you use an alternate source to test them? To the naked eye they might seem ok but they might be burned out

OK. Just because the bulb turns on when you turn your lights on does not mean that the signal side of the bulb is not burned out. What I am saying is; the parking light and the turn signal is performed be two different bulb filaments. I would suggest that you replace the front bulbs.

I may sound silly but in most of these cases it's a simple matter of clenaing the heck out of the sockets and the bulbs themselves.
If you can get everything back up this way don't stop, put some silicone grease in every socket.

Check the blinker fluid...... J/k. Like Jeb said the blinker lights have 2 elements one for the blink one when you turn the lights on if both aren't comming on it is bad. I'd replace them both anyway they come in a pack of 2 and are less than 5$. Just get new ones and clean the socket.

I agree with Steve. Check the sockets very carefully.
I drove my '98 T/A down what appeared to be a slightly flooded road. Like, 6" maybe, I thought. I got about a hundred feet down it, and found it to be a LOT deeper. The bow wake was over my hood. I motored through it as quick as I could, to keep the now submerged exhaust from getting water into it.
A couple days later, the turn signals stopped working. I checked all the sockets, and found the front ones to be badly corroded. It should have been fresh water that I was driving through, but with all the road ick, it made a mess in the sockets.
The cleaned sockets lasted me a couple months, but then they stopped working again. I looked at the sockets again, and they again were badly corroded. I guess I hadn't cleaned them well enough.
I picked up some generic replacement sockets from a local auto parts store, and spliced them in. It's been probably 5 years, and I haven't had any more problems. It's actually nice, I left a little extra wire on there, so I can pull the sockets all the way out of the car to change bulbs.
And ya, I'm sure it'll be asked. No, there were absolutely no other rusting problems. Just the turn bulbs. Even the flog lights and headlights were fine.

Come on people, we all change our oil and stuff like that.
The factory was not the best about putting any weather resistant sealer on anything - bulbs, ABS sensors - you name it. Anytime you're near anything electrical clean and put some silicon grease on the contacts.

Thanks for the Picture!
I just bought a 94 firebird for my daughter, and thanks to the picture you posted three years ago, I was able to find that there are two flashers, and able to find the one for the signals. The turn signals work now. Three cheers for you and the Interwebs!
