Question Blinker Problem - HELP

I have a 94 TA. Ok its not an LS, but I'm sure you LS guys know a lil about LT1 models.

Well the left blinker stopped working a while ago. Then the right one stopped. But then every so often the right one starts working again. None of my lights are out in the back or on the front fenders. So i'm like wth, why does the right one work every so often.

My first idea would be to replace the back blinker bulbs... though I have NO idea which one is the blinker bulb since they all still light up! Do you know which I would have to replace????

Same thing with the front fender bulbs, how do I know if the blinker mechanism is shot?

Help appreciated.

Check your blinker fluid. Its probably low.

I'd try replacing the flasher first rather than chasing each bulb. The flasher is under the dash on the drivers side. Remove the bottom panel and look to the right towards where the radio is. The flasher should be clipped onto the plastic panel that runs up to the radio. You won't see it right away because it's hidden. It's a small cylindrical looking thing.

I used to have that problem becuase the socket got a little rusted, so it wasnt contacting as good.

Had the same problem with my car, so I took it back to the dealer since, it was still under warranty, and they said it was the flasher and they replaced it. No problem since, then...hope that helps.

If it was your HAZARD SWITCH (the flasher as you guys call it) your turn signals would not work at all only your hazard lights would work. Now, usually when the trun signal just lights up and does not blink that means that your front turn signal bulbs are out (at least in an LS1 that's what I noticed) the turn signals in the back light assembly are the two center bulbs on each side. Also as stated earlier, check your connections.

Here is the location of the flasher that was mentioned earlier. I vote that this is the culprit also.
