Default Turn signal???

Well guys I replaced the rear tail light bulb on the 88 Convertible which was some what difficult. The turn signals worked for a time, once I replaced the bulb maybe a day and now they have stopped. Both front and back signals are not blinking but the lights are both on. The drivers side is working fine though. Is this a relay problem and are their seperate relays for each side or could it be something else??

THANX

Since you know the front and rear work (light up), I would look at the side marker lights. Put the turn signal on the driver side and look at the side markers, if one of them blinks, then turn to the passenger side and see if it is out.

Try your emergency flashers. If all four flash, then the T/S flasher may be at fault.

Turn signals have no relays. Power goes through the turn signal switch, through the flasher and then to the lamps. Low current will cause the flasher not to flash. Check for the same number and intensity of the lamps on both sides of your car with the turn signals operating. You have to have the same number of flashing lamps and the same brilliancy.
