If neither side works, the most obvious thing to check would be the flasher.

If it's only one side and it just sticks on, then check all the bulbs (Front & Back), most likely one is out.

I did a quick walk around of my car hitting the lock button on the remote and all the lights went on but i dont know why they wouldnt blink, is there a blinker fuse? if so where is it. i will check again when i am on lunch at 12, thanks everyone so far.

ok

On my lunch break i checked all lights light up with hazards on, but only the rear brake lights blink. on the dash the arrows do blink too. so maybe it is the blinker fuse anyone know where it is, i had this car for a week! thanks.

Your front bulbs are probably shot.

There is a separate hazard flasher and turn signal flasher. If your front lights don't blink at all in either case, you might have a bad connection at one of the long connectors at the base of the steering column or your front bulbs, wiring or sockets need attention.

hmm

When i first got the car it needed a f/l turnsingal bulb. the socket looked very dirty and such but the light blinked and it still lights so i wasnt sure if it was that or not. Anyone know were the blinker fuse is maybe its that, should i listen for a click when the blinker is on and if it doesnt does that tell you that its the fuse? thanks just trying to make it as fast and as easy as possible. thanks.

there is a turn signal flasher, because i replaced it and it seemed to help my dash says my bulbs are blinking when i turn on the turn signals. The Rear lights blink now but the fronts still dont, this is so wierd! It is under the dash to the right and you have to remove the plastic peice under the steering wheel. thats where i heard the clicking noise before i replaced it But it would only click 1 time every 10 seconds or so it seemed. I replaced the front left bulb once. Any ideas, so far F/L turn signal bulb replaced, then after a week this flasher fuse replaced. Now dash blinks correctly and clicks, but the fronts dont and the rears do work correctly. please help me!
