the arrow on the dash comes on stays on? burnt bulb. try turning your hazards on and walking around the car to see which one is bad
I've never heard of f-bodys blinking fast when they burn out, we did have a ford truck that did that though

mines been doing that also.. but i bought new bulbs and the driver side still does stays solid sometimes.. i wiggle where the wires go into the bulb housing and it works for awhile.. so i need a new plug.. i read on here that the bulb housings are horrible because of the location and getting wet when it rains.. so i will be replacing the lens, bulb housing, and maybe wrap the wires in some sort of protection so maybe they will last longer

If are getting rust the best thing is get a new gasket and replace the plug. The other issue with our plugs is that the get damage because of the excessive heat of DRL. I unplug my DRL and I haven't had anymore issues with the plugs anymore.

you have to jack the car up and underneath the turn signal area you will see a plastic door area in the plastic cover. Loose the two 10mm bolts and you get access behind the turn signal housing. The housing is hold by 2 bolt screws ( the screws are on the back/rear of the housing) to the bumper cover. If i remember right they are 8mm bolts, just take the 2 screws out and get the light socket out. Then remove the light housing by lifting it from inside and take it out from the underneath the bumper access door.

well i can't is uncomfortable to do it. So I always lift it up some to get some room. He's talking about the getting the whole turn signal out not just the bulb.
