i would replace the socket.. if thats not it then its the wiring

There are lots of threads about this issue.

Check the lens on the housing. It might have some small cracks in it allowing water to get in. I wouldn't recommend replacing the socket if your lens has cracks. Replace the housing first. If your socket is degraded then replace it also. If it's not, allow it to dry up and clean it out. Should be just fine.

Main thing is. Find out how water is getting in the housing first.

My driver side housing cracked real bad and my socket got corroded horribly. I replaced the housing ($45) and the socket ($65) and it works fine now. I checked the passenger side housing and there were a few tiny cracks in the lens, a little bit of condensation inside, so I went ahead and replaced it to save the $65 on the socket.

thats insanely expensive for the small light!

Light housings are not cheap. You will save money by making it work properly though. Think about all the bulbs you would have to buy otherwise. And the possibility of getting a ticket for "Failure to Signal Intent". I got one once in a different vehicle and it was $285. He wrote me for that cause he couldn't get my speed, but he knew I was speeding. And I know that I signaled the lane change, cause I always do. Even in traffic at 90 mph.

I just fixed this same issue in my Camaro yesterday except it was the passenger side.

Mine was just doing the same thing and I ended up replacing the actual turn signal solenoid, the thing that ticks under the steering wheel, you could try it its under ten bucks to replace and prolly needs it anyways....

I Just Replaced The Housing On Mine, 29 Dollars Shipped On Ebay Check It Out. Better Than 45

The Dealer Replaced The Turn Signal Solenoid On Mine And It Has Never Worked Right Since,my Blinkers Dont Work In The Front And The Daytime Running Lights Dont Even Come On. The Only Way They Will Come On Is If The Lights Are On, But The Blinkers In The Back Work, Crazy Shit, And The Turn Signal Arrow Blinks As If Everything Was Working Correctly.

I am having the same problem, I replaced both blinker solenoids (that is right, there are 2 of them) the other one is almost exactly opposite the one behind the stereo. Still didn't fix my problem. The side marker lights work like they are supposed to. Just the turn signals don't. gonna take it to the local lube place to get them to change the turn signals. Not skinny enough. maybe I will try ramps tomorrow. I dunno.

Im having the exact same problem with my passenger side, i get the solid light in the dash, the rear taillight blinker comes on but doesnt blink, the front doesnt come on at all. Im gonna try replacing the blinker module under the dash but i think after reading this ill check the housing for corrosion too.
