Ok right blinker is great works fine no problems. Left blinker wont flash and lights up in front and dims the right rear taillight (nothing on left rear). Hazards flash all 4 corners but the dash lights flash too as well as parking lights. I check threads here on g body blinkers but it sounds like mine is a little different (t-type has no wiring in the trunk its in the rear bumper stock). Any ideas would be great as a dumb cop pulled me over for it and said "I dont know what you were doing with the right taillight but the left blinker doesn't work". I went oh it works manually in front I thought the back did too lol.

Oh previous owner said they replaced a taillight socket and I'm thinking it may have the blinker/parking light wire crossed but I dont have a diagram and I wont set it on fire playing with it.

Fixed. I don't know if this good luck or bad but every car I buy has the wrong taillight bulbs in it. Why do people replace a double filament bulb with a single filament bulb? I knew exactly what was wrong once I pulled the taillights to check the socket wiring.

and the reason I asked was my last trubo regal was a nightmare for blinkers and I never got them working. It worked only if you had your foot on the brakes and manually flashed them. It was the dumbest thing I've ever tried to fix on a car and god only knows what it was doing.

It's a good thing with these cars to go after the simple things first, glad your problem turned out to be minor and it's fixed..:)
