blinker problems

[joshbrown38]

I have a 99 camaro, and the passengerside blinker does not light up. When i put that turn signal on the arow stayes lit and the rear one does not blink, it just stays on.
I changed the bulb today, but it still will not light up. The fuse is also fine.
What could it be?

Re: blinker problems

you said "passenger" but you did not indicate if its the front or rear.... oh well

realize there are 2 bulbs in the front turn signals... I cant remember about the rears.. (but I've changed the rears before)

Your problem is either: you didnt change the Correct bulb
OR you have a wire problem

I am 99.9% sure you just didnt change the correct bulb
Go to walmart, pick up 2 bulbs for $2 ... problem solved

Re: blinker problems

I just had the exact same problem on my 02 Z not less than a week ago. There are two lights in the front corner...bulbs- 3157 (turn light) and 194 (running light). The turn signal will stay on if the bulb is burnt but I replaced two bulbs before I figured out the socket was bad. Take the bulb out of the socket look to see if it looks burnt or smell it and you will know. If this is your problem dont go to Auto Zone, NAPA, etc cuz they didnt have anything close to the socket. I had to go to GM to get the socket. I have the part number if you need it. Retail is i think $54.00. Hope this helps.

Is that sarcasm?

j/k My socket kept over heating the bulb so I had no other choice than to replace it, but figured I would share.

Re: blinker problems

Thanks for the info Z06; I will check the socket tomorrow.

Checked today; the other bulb was burned out; changed it, and all works well
Thanks everyone for your help.

ive got the same problem, but you can get the correct socket from advance auto parts, for $13.00 bucks(rear) & $47.99(front), chk their website, its a 2 day delivery
