Hey guys. Another prob now. When i click my blinker the light doesn;t flash inside the car like it used to. It just stays lit and the outside lights also don't work. When i turn my headlights on the blinker stays lit inside and does not flash outside. But when the lights are on its always lit even if i push the switch down. But with the headlights off it doesn't, it will shut off. Someone said i have a bulb out, what do you guys think? Dangerous to drive now

That would be a toast bulb or two.

So what do i do to find out? Do I have to rip the dash apart and just look at all of them? Any idea on what lights it could be?

Try the outside blinker lights. Should be one of them.

They work with the hazards on, could it still be that.

It's an outside marker bulb, check ur front headlight markers, and also check the corners. Essentially ,it's saying that they're not blinking, just staying on, and they're supposed to go between bright and nada, or bright and not so bright. Give it another try, and also try it w/ ur parking lights on and off....see if theres a difference.

Thanks guys, ya it was my front marker light. Never knew that it could affect that much. Learning something new everyday. Thanks guys.

This isn't on topic, but a quick FYI- my blinkers were really S-L-O-W... usually that means a dying battery/alternator/etc, but all my stuff was in top condition.

The blinker can was just worn out! A new one fixed the problem ($3)- I think I had to replace it around 215,000 miles? So I was going nuts tracing an electrical problem that didn't exist...

I have a smilar problem.. My blinkers just decided to stop working. Even the blionker lights inside the car don't light up. But only if I use the turn signal lever thing. if I kick on the hazard lights, they all light up and flash just fine. So I'm uh.. Confused?
