Left blinker works, right blinker won't work.

I know this sounds stupid but I've checked every bulb, replaced most and swaped the rest with the other side. I Checked the fuse in the door panel. But i can't get it to work. Any ideas?

Could it be one of the big fuses under the hood?

 

Its more likely the turn signal arm itself. I had the same problem and had a local dealership change out the plastic cam inside the column. Not very expensive but make sure they have the part and what they plan on charging in labor. I think mine was 80 dollars for the labor and part.

 

I thought about that but I figured that if it was the arm than both sides wouldn't work.

Something I forgot to mention was that the arrow will light up in the dash, it just won't blink. So the arm is working as far as knowing it's suppose to work. Is there a relay somewhere that controls the blinking?

 

try changing the blinker...I've heard of stranger things happening because of a faulty blinker.

Typically though something like that is the result of a bulb being fried...so if you've checked all the bulbs and your sure thats not the problem, start checking through wiring for a short.

 

jason, im havin the same problem, my right works, but my left doesnt. It cant be the flasher because the hazards work, mine also lights up when i push it down, but it just stays lit. If you find anything send me an email.

 

I just got through fixing the same problem - due to corrosion in the socket itself. Check to make sure all the sockets are clean from any rust or corrosion.

 

Did you check the blinker fluid?





Haha! Beat you!

 

They all looked good when I was messing with it Sunday, but I'm going to get some cleaner and look at them again Thursday. Maybe that will fix it but I really don't expect it to.

Thanks for the help!

P.S. The blinker fluid is fine I just changed it when I changed the muffler bearings.

 

The hazards and turn signal use different flashers.

Turn on the hazards to make sure you see every element come on that is supposed to.

 

Do you have the part # for the turn signal flasher?

Thanks for the pic

 

GM PART # 10041074, but you can get one at any parts store or Walmart, etc.

 

Thanks again

 

That part # is for an 85-90 model, the correct part # is 10041073 for a 95.

This according to the parts guy at my local Chevy dealership. He said the first # is for a 2 bulb flashing system and the second # is for a 3 bulb flash.

Just thought I would let you know.

It's the socket.I changed mine out by unscrewing the headlight by hand,to open it half way so I could change the socket through the top of the car ,instead of dropping the bottom panel.Seems the black wire(ground)bites the dust really easy.Hope this helps.(Don't but the socket from the dealer,they want$55.00 each)Go to any auto parts chain.My02

 

I stand corrected. I need to pay more attention.

The flasher I gave him is for a 1995, but is for the Camaro. It is different. Less bulbs flash.
