blinker problems...

ok, this is my first post here. I have been looking through this website for about a year or so and just got me an account... so anyways, this is my problem: my left blinker lights all work, my right blinker front lights work but don't blink, the back blinker light doesn't even work, the fuses look fine, the bulb is fine. The bulb isn't getting any power.. I'm not too sure what it could be. maybe the flasher? maybe i'll have to rewire the taillights which won't be too bad. anyone know what could be the problem?? maybe a loose connection somewhere? Thanks, i know this might be somewhat of a stupid question but oh well. I'm new so`BE NICE.

recheck the bulbs in the back of the car, if even one bulb is out the rest of the blinkers on that side won't work, they will just be steady on. since your front bulb lights I doubt it's the flasher unit.

I'd be willing to bet it's your rear turn bulb is bad, they're only about a $1.00 so it wouldn't hurt to replace it anyway, sometimes they go bad in places you can't see.

From: out of my mind; be back in 5 minutes....
Car: 1989 Firebird Formula
Engine: Internal Combustion
Transmission: Completed
Axle/Gears: ones that turn.
If one side works fine, then the flasher is good.
As mentioned above, double-check the rear bulb. If you have, or can borrow, a voltmeter check at the bulb socket to see if power is getting to it, and if the ground is good. If it isn't getting power, it's likely a broken wire somewhere.

I did get a voltmeter and check the bulb socket, and it's not getting any power to it. There must be a broken wire somewhere, thanks for the help.
