Blinkers, Brights and Speedo problem

I just got my first 3rd gen and the blinkers dont blink, they just stay on but the flashers work, the brights wont come on but that might be due to the lever being a little busted and the speedo is way off. Please help. Thanks

maybe a bulb is out? Mine blink with the flashers but don't when just turning if a bulb is bad. Maybe a bad ground as well?

like 1989karr said, check your bulbs. If they all light, then i would suspect the actual blinkers.

Brights - The switch on the bottom??? of the steering column might be bad, you can get one new from gm.

The speedo might be off if someone changed rear axle gears and didn't change the speedometer drive and driven gears. Or if you have bigger tires put on, but different tires shouldn't throw it by too much, like 3 MPH. A far-far-fetched possiblity is that the speedometer is bad or the vss is bad.
