    A bulb blew out. I would just spend the extra $ and replace all your rear tailight bulbs.

      Most blinker units are bimetal relays that automatically make contact intermittently through heat. The heat is caused by resistance from the bulbs. Reduce the resistance and the element doesn't get hot enough to jump from one pole to the other.

      So like he said, there's a blown bulb somewhere... or the unit itself could be bad.

          I have a similar problem, my left blinkers would work and my right would not, then neither would work and the lights would come on and stay on, no blink. I did not have a bulb issue so I replaced the blinker relay with a new one and it worked for a while then did the same thing...I replaced that with a heavy duty one and now the relay lasts 2-3 years and then does the same thing...since the relay is only a couple of buck, i'll live witht he problem rather than try and chase it.
