[95firebird3.4]

ok with my head lights off my turn signal works fine. if i turn my head lights on they do not work. the left side does not work at all the green arrow on on my dash just stays lit up. and the right side flashes but super slow. i have no clue where to start. thanks for your help

Re: turn signal problems

replace the flasher, and the turn signal bulbs in the front and rear on whatever side is not blinking, the whole cost should be like 10 bucks

Yeah the slow flashing sounds like a bad flasher, and the solid arrow = bad bulb somewhere.. so replace the side that is bad, well hell I would do all 4 just as a preventitive thing.

Do all that is listed above first. Then if you still have trouble look for a bad ground.

Re: turn signal problems

When the one arrow doesn't flash, you have a bad bulb. My driver side tail light housing collects water that is draining down through the sides of the hatch. I used to blow bulbs like crazy before I found out what was happening. Sometimes though, when you put a bulb in and don't put it in all the way, it won't flash.
