      ^ If not that or a burnt socket, try new bulb, then try flasher relay.

        I kno that there are the seperate flashers for hazards and turn signals, but is there more than one kind of flasher for the signals? I had a similar problem and so i replaced the bulb that was bad and then the flasher which went bad soon after, it made the signals work again but they blink very slow.

          no, there are only two flashers, one for the hazzards, and another for the turnsignals.

          i had a similar problem and it was caused by corrosion in the light socket.

            X2 for the corrosion in the socket doubtful it is the flasher if one of the bulbs work as the flasher is just a timed relay and it either works or it dont. I have never seen a flasher that would flash only one bulb on one side that is usally a wireing problem or the socket is KOed

                the socket is either dirty or corodded. Replace the socket. Its like 10 bucks and should fix the prob. If you want to get mcgiver-ish. Get out the test light and test the wires just before the socket. If the test light blinks then you know the socket is bad
