Angry Turn signal bulb wont stay on!!

I was looking at the front end of my car and realized that the drivers side turn signal and sidemarker(the little bulb) stay on when i turn on my headlights but the passenger side only the sidemarker bulb stays on and the turn signal only comes on when i signal for a turn. Is there anyway to fix this? And all the bulbs work! Its really pissing me off

Are you trying to say that the little bulb isn't flashing when you signal?

If you are it's not supposed to flash

Oh ok so the big bulb isn't coming on then so....
Did you make sure you didn't stick the bulb in backwards
I did that once

one more question is it only when you use the signal or all the time?

lol yea im sure the bulb is on right i tried it both ways just to make sure too. And as soon as i turn on my headlights the turning signal bulb wont come on....it only blinks when im turning and then as soon as the turn is complete it turns off again.

OK I know how to figure out if it's the bulb or the wiring.
Switch the driver side and pass. side bulb if the if the bulb doesn't work on the other side its the bulb if it does work it's the wiring.

I really wouldn't know but look at the plug maybe it's really rusted and dirty spray some wd in it then try the bulb again if that doesn't fix it folloe the wires back to the fire wall and make sure the hot wire isn't exposed and grounding itself out
that or take it to the dealer

I had the same problem that you are having, so I took it back to the dealer (with 35950 miles, before the warranty ran out) and this is what they did. They said, they first replaced the socket and found out that wasn't it, and then they replaced the flasher unit (they said it was located under the dash) and it works now. Don't know if this will fix your problem. Hope this helps.
