right blinker?

My left blinker works fine, but the right blinker will light up, light up on the dash, but wont flash. It just stays lite. Any ideas as to why it wont blink on the dash or the blinker itself?

Re: right blinker?

do the bulbs all light up?

usually, when one side blinks and the other doesn't, there is a bulb out on the side that doesn't blink

yea, most likely a bulb is burnt out on the side where it doesnt flash
also, it might (slight chance) be a light socket being damaged
heard about it but never experienced so...just wanted to give you another thing to look for if it isnt the bulb (which i'm 90% sure it'd be the bulb)

make sure that theres plenty of blinker fluid. a lot of times a blinker will malfunction when theres not enough blinker fluid....

Re: right blinker?

Your bulb either in the front or the rear is burned out.

Re: right blinker?

Check the lights on both the front and rear. Whichever doesn't light up is probably the one that's burned out. I'm gonna guess it's the rear if the front still lights up. Easy 2 min. fix.
