my blinker is borked...

My left blinker won't work... the lights (the blinker bulbs as well as the blinker light in my dash) stay solid when I use my blinker instead of blinking. What's the deal yo? I've got 10 mins to figure it out.

One of the bulbs is burnt out. When one bulb is burnt it'll stay on solid. Flip it on and get out and see which one it is, and replace it.

And is it that desperate that you only have 10 minutes to fix it?

When I turn on my blinker, they ALL stay on solid, front and back.

In 10 mins I gotta leave for work, so if I need a part it would be easiest to pick it up before work

I'm pretty sure that it's still one of the bulbs itself. I had that happen in my Camaro... they both were on solid, but I replaced the front bulb and it blinked again.

Otherwise it's prolly the relay, wherever the hell that is. I don't really know how the blinkers work, I just know that when that happened to me I repalced a bulb and it worked. Just stop at an Autozone or something and ask em, they should be able to get you the part you need.

That will be under the dash, you have to open that panel near your knees when you sit in the car (it's called the "knee bolster" in the Haynes manual) and the relay should look like a little silver cylinder thing. It should be cheap to replace.
