HELP ME!!! (Turn signal relay)

Help Me!!! This is about my signal lights. My left signal light works fine as in it flashes. But my right signal light doesn't flash, it just stay solid green? Plus, whenever I do a right signal, my right rear signal light doesn't flash. The light just stays on with no flash. Also, my right signal light in the front (below the headlights) doesn't work or flash. Can anybody help me identify this problem. I don't know if it's the turn signal relay or the bulbs. (I don't wanna spend money for the wrong parts)

Re: HELP ME!!! (Turn signal relay)

there is no turn signal relay. i would go through and change all the signal bulbs. as soon as you change one, another shortly follows.

Re: HELP ME!!! (Turn signal relay)

From your description of the problem.....sounds like the right front signal bulb is out. I agree with lordmalice, change the bulbs. For about 8-10 dollars you can change all four corners and be confident that your bulbs are not the culprit.

There is a flasher control module under the steering column that may be replaced at your own discression, but if the left side is functioning properly, then the "relay" module is not to blame.

If spending money on this issue is your main concern, count your lucky stars....cause this is a cheap one, even if you had to replace the flasher module.

You're talking about the right orange bulb signal light? (which is the one under the right headlights right?) I'll take a look at it. And yes, the left side is working properly.

It was the bulb on the signal light. I just needed a new bulb. Thanks for the help guys.
