turning signal problems

ok my right turning signal was not working
whenever i would put the turning signal on there would be no light on the outside but on the gauges the turning signal would just light up but not blink, i bought new bulbs and i replaced them and they worked for like a minute then it stayed on again and now my left bulb doesnt blink either and my front driving light bulb blew so could that be the reason why my turning signals arent working because the front right driving light blew?

The driving lights are not connected to the turn signal wiring in any way.

supposedly if the signals don't blink, one of the bulbs in the front/side of the car or in the back are bad... not in your gauges.

I have a similar problem, except that mine stops acting up when I bump the front right turning signal. SO Im guessing its a wiring issue.

sounds like your gonna have to spend some time tracking down wires. I believe if you turn your fog lights on, these light up as well, then if you activate the turning signal then turn on and off. I wouldnt be suprised if there is just some wire somewhere that is grounding out and causing it to fry...
