1. my rightturn signal won't blink. I now the light works because I can get it to blink when I turn on the hazards. But when I flip the switch for the right blinker the light does not come on. Inside the car the turn signal indicator just stays constant lit. The left blinker works just fine. All other lights work just fine. Any idea? Thanks in advance.

2. My glove box has a connection for a light but no bulb in it. Any idea what the part number is and if I can get an LED replacement? I'm most likely going replace the light under the dash also but that one has a bulb so I can figure it out from there.

Again, thanks in advance.

sounds to be in the turn signal switch, perhaps its bad or the copper terminals are corroded.

If none of the lights are coming on, check the rear taillight harness that runs down the driver’s side. I had been handling the one I have and had the wires break off of their terminals in the connector that goes on the fuse block. If those are broken, you’ll need Packcon(I think that’s how it’s spelled) terminals, either Painless Performance or American Autowire sells them, I can’t remember.

If any of the turn signal lights come on, then it’s an issue with the bulbs, I just fixed this on mine, the bulb broke off it’s base, but still lit up.

A burned out parking light filament will make the turn signal act funny. If the indicator in the dash doesn't flash or stays on, it's one of the fronts. If not, it's out back.

All: I'm beginning to wonder if a faulty bulb is causing a similar problem in my elky. Here's the situation:

  1. Turn signals work fine.
  2. However, when headlights are turned on, the right turn signal lamp illuminates and stays ON.
  3. With headlights on, left turn signal lamp will flash but right turn does not flash on/off.
  4. Flashers work at all four corners.
Could this also be a ground issue? If yes, where should I begin looking.

I swapped the bulb from right and left. The left blinker still works and the right still doesn't work. The bulb, a 194, looks fine in both cases. I'll have to keep looking researching this. I don't want to get pulled over.

Wait, so I’m not getting confused, is the whole right side turn signal not working for all 3 bulbs or is the marker light on the right front fender not flashing? If it’s the rear marker light, those aren’t supposed to flash at all, IIRC
