Default Blinker Problem

I have a 1980 Corvette and all the sudden my right blinker will not blink. The left one does but when I click the right blinker on it stays on and will not blink. I checked the bulbs and they in good shape. The odd thing is the rear blinker is dimmer that the left that blinks. Do you have any idea why this would happen all the sudden?

Grounding problem, sounds like. Do an advanced search and read up on ground problems and non functional lights.

Might be low on blinker fluid


I agree with seventysixvette check out your grounds and the rear taillight bulb connection and if the bulb is really ok, could have one of the filliments burnt out

Thank you I will look into the ground. I changed out the bulb and it did not help. Thanks again for the help!

You can also check the flasher,you can swap it with the hazard flasher just to see if that could be your problem.
