blinker signal stays solid and doesnt blink

[97rs]

ok, i am not sure what the problem is, or if i should change the front corners and/or the rear signals. My blinker symbol on the gauge cluster stays solid for both left and right, and my taillight signal also stays solid. my corners do not blink either. anyone know what the problem is?

Well the blinkers are wired together, thats why when one bulb blows the other blinks faster( its getting all the volts).
I would grab a wiring diagram and see how its totally wired. If you have a DMM your be good to go.

Also might want to check fuses/relays, I don't remember were they get there power source from.
Hopefully this gives ya a rough idea were to start.

Hopefully someone else knows the problem more exact, I've never had this problem, but this is were I would start.

its the bulb in the taillight more than likely. pull the taillight out and turn on the turn signal you will see which bulb is burnt.

try replacing the flasher... if that burns out, none of your lights will blink. if all the bulbs turn on, thatd be the first thing id check... you can get them for like 3 bucks at a parts store for the thermal kind and for like 10-12 for the electronic kind. the electronic kind last a lot longer so its up to you...

check your blinker fluid....jokeing, i had the same problem, first check your bulbs, and your fuses, also check the conectors that the bulbs go into, your looking for corosion/rust. another thing that may be wrong is your relay switch..if that all doesnt work, sorry im out of ideas...

when that's happened to both mine and my brother's F-bodies (he's had 2, i'm on my 3rd), it ended up being the FRONT bulb. I'd check those.

yea check all the bulbs first.

Relays will not work if there is'nt adequate current draw...hence when a bulb burns out the lights will simply stay on.

happens all the time. almost guarentee you thats the fix.

has to be burnt out bulb hope you figure it out

If one of the filaments or the whole bulb in the front turn signals burns out, the relays make the turn signal solid as a warning. It's made so that if the bulb goes out, you have some way of knowing something is wrong. It's happened to me a couple times (recently actually). As everyone has said, change the front bulbs (changing both sides would be good to keep aesthetics.

the way the blinkers work is that there is a breaker that makes the BLINKING work. When BOTH bulbs are lit, there is a full load causing the breaker to break the circuit, then it resets itself. when a bulb is out, it is not utilizing its full load and therefore does not break. Its not always the case of the back bulb, turn your blinker on, get out of the car, and see which bulb isnt lighting up. then replace that bulb.

simple fix.


haha i just read other posts.. . oh well. looks like its been covered

same with me. on both occasions

[Antiricer4u]

third here...

and tyler...its a relay not a breaker. A breaker requires mechanical reset i.e. you flipping it back

just clearing it up
