Its a dirty connector most probably, sounds like its back feeding. Make sure all your connctions are clean.

Re: Turn Signal Not Blinking!

its most likely that you've replaced it with the wrong bulb, check the actual bulb, it needs to have two filiments inside, if it's got only one then that could most likely be your problem as its trying to light a second filiment but there isnt any

Re: Turn Signal Not Blinking!

was one burnt out prior? mine was, i replaced that side frnt and back, then front stayed lit, took bulb out, wipe off new bulb again, clean contacts, leave bulb out while trying this, make it easier. it's simple problem. keep trying.
