  • turn signal

    When I flip on my right turn signal it stays solid. I have checked all the bulbs and they seem fine. I can make the turnsignal blink by flipping it up and down with my hand but thats it. I thought it was my blinker but read that both turnsignals must not work for it to be the blinker. When I turn on my hazard\flasher lights the right side bulbs blink and function normally. Has anyone had this problem happen or give me ideas on how to fix it?

    If one of the daytime running bulbs burns out, you'll get the symptoms you describe. Anytime I've had a single bulb burn out, the turn signal stopped flashing.

      I had a similar experience with mine and like Joe said, it was the bulb. (There are two in each turn signal lens in the front) The bulb had two filaments in it and one was burnt out. I don't know what the bulbs or the set up was like in the 94's, but mine were staying solid when I turned on the blinker and a new bulb fixed the prob. Hope this helps.

        I know this doesn't find what the problem really is, but if you replace the flasher with a relay type, it won't matter if the bulb is burned out. If you switch to the LED bulbs, they don't pull enough current to make the flasher heat up and work so you have to switch to a relay flasher.
