Check bulbs?
Can a dual filament bulb be bad inside & cause turns not to work?
That's all I can think of-good luck

Mr Froman

I'm having the same problem. Just happened about 10 minutes ago, my turn signals have always worked until now. My passenger side turn signal still works but for some reason the driver side just stays lit when I turn on the left signal.

I would definitely check the bulbs. In my firebird my front passenger side turn signal would not work, would turn on in the dash, but not on the outside, and wouldnt flash. replaced the bulb, BOOM, turn signals. Also, before replacing, take it out, clean it, then put it back in there. did that to all of my brake light bulbs, made 3 work that didnt before, then again my car sat for 3 years. Good luck

Mr Froman

The thing is every light on the outside of my car works. I had that same problem you mentioned. But even on my dash when I turn on my turn signal it doesn't flash. It just stays lit. I'm hoping its that little turn signal relay that clicks under the dash.

mr froman you need to change the flasher

the lights on the dash do not work right or left

the lights around the car work with the headlight switch

the hazard switch turns on the flashers on the dash and all the outside lights

please give me some advise besides change the bulbs

Mr Froman

I picked up a flasher today and now it flashes, but any amber colored driver side light won't light up when I go to turn on my lights. They work for the turning signal, but for some reason the left turn signal light on the dash stays lit but won't turn on outside of the car when I turn on my headlights/running lights.

So in other words, the amber lights work only as turning signals.

I have the same problem no turn signals or flashers got two new fuses but can't even find the so call drop down panel were they are surrpose to go, and please don't tell me under the dash, tell me were under the dash. so i can start from their. thanks for your help

Mr Froman

Is there a fuse anywhere for the "parking" lights?

Burbo

Were are these fuses located flashers/signals ??? Were under the dash

Mr Froman

If you look under the dash, you'll see this little round silver thing. That is what clicks when you turn on your turn signal and allows it to blink you can unplug that and put a new one in. Picked one up at NAPA for $3.

I have the same problem and replaced the flasher, it didn't help. I want to know how to do this also. I did notice that when I have my hazards on, they don't all blink together. Also the rear passenger light stays lit when I want to make a turn, but the front marker and parking light don't light up at all. I need help with this also. I replaced the bulbs, and the flasher but can't find anything else wrong. All the fuses are fine, (I got the glows when it blows fuses) and still have issues.

I have problems as well. Turn signals work with the headlights off, or on the hazard lights, but not with the lights on. No idea what is wrong. It is and 86 with the amber turn signals in the rear, which I don't think it came with.

Burbo

I got the new fuses flasher and signal (same) But i can't find them under the dash any where, I'll start looking for lose connection's i guess

I'm giving this a bump. I still haven't figured out the problem and was hoping someone here could shed some light on the subject. Anyone got any info.

Do half the guages on your instrument panel peg up or down? I had the same issue, turn signals work great until you turn the headlights on. Then half the inst panel goes goofy and the driver t/s dash indicator comes on and the driver side t/s doesnt work. I figured out I had a short in my inst panel by swapping my buddies in that worked. I then upgraded to autometers.

Hazard/turn and for the rear the brakelights all use the same filament in the bulb. so if the hazard make all 4 light's work the bulbs aren't the problem.

all4u

thankyou for that 3rd gen will, but I'm wondering (I still have my problem) if a filament that is burned out, cause the interior turn signal indicator light to stay on when the lights turn on or when you try to make a turn in that direction. That is my problem right now. Anyone have an idea how to fix it? Where are the electrical gurus?

all4u

Sorry for the bump but I still have the same problem and need help from the electrical gurus. Where are you guys? Thanks for any help in advance.

Everyone please remember that there are TWO flashers. One for the hazard circuit and one for the turn signals. Don't confuse the hazard flasher for the turn flasher. Usually the hazard flasher is located in or close to the fuse block. The turn signal flasher is usually clipped onto a bracket close to the steering column. Why do they put it there? So there is tactile feedback from the clicking of the flasher and so the sound of the clicking is noticeable. I do know that when a flasher goes bad all the symptoms you described match.

all4u

I get that, but what happens when you replaced both flashers, and all the light bulbs (my dumb *** broke a few taken them out to test them so I had to replace almost all of them!) and you still have the same problem? Where do you go to next? That is what I mean, sorry for the confusion, this S--T is annoying!

Mike M

All evidence points to the turn switch in the column.

all4u

That sounds like a female dog. This sucks.

Easy way to check, disconnect the switch at the column turn your headlights on and see if the dash indicator illuminates.

I really need a write up for this. Please tell me some one has done this crud before. Help and thanks.

mmadden55

OK I know the flashers are ok the signals work when the lights are off. When the lights are on they don't blink. Nothing happens with the dash. I have the amber turnsignals in the rear. It is an 86 Firebird which I recently bought so I don't even know whether or not the tails are stock or from another car.

ubigbad

Hi everyone:
I have an 86 firebird that the turn signal lights don't work, they just stopped.
I replaced the relay (bought 2 so I have a spare) and checked all the fuses, Hazard lights work, brake lights work, tail lights work, parking lights work. green arrows on dash don't light up. ether right or left. but work for hazards.
don't know what to do now any help would be appriciated
Thanks
