Turn Signals

Ok guys, my passenger side turn signal just crapped out on me today. I noticed that when either hte parking or regular lights or on the turn signal is not illuminated so i figured it was the bulb, but when you turn on the right blinker it will blink properly. So obviously it isn't the bulb if the turn signal works when its supposed to blink but it won't stay illuminated. Any ideas?

i'm pretty sure they just get brighter when they blink.... if it's a 1157 the second element in the bulb is bad... try your emergency lights and see if it comes on...

Yeah sounds like one of the elements in the bulb is bad. Replace it, it should work fine then.

Yea it comes on when the hazard lights are turned on, but they don't normally stay on with normal lights and stuff. Obviously the filament is gone, i forgot they were dual filament bulbs oh well gotta run out tomorrow and get one, thanks guys
