Blinker Problem...
Ok, went to drive home from work today and noticed my blinkers weren't blinking. The light in the cluster just stayed lit.
So, I turned them on and checked all the lights. All lights are functioning properly, the blinkers just aren't blinking....
OK, so my questions is: What's causing this? The blinker module? Where is it? and How much to fix?
Car: 1988 Coupe
Thanks!! :cheers:
EDIT:
Before anyone else does this....The blinker fluid is good, checked that first!! :yesnod:
EDIT (part 2):
When I turn on the blinkers, no sound, like the normal blinker sound. Just lights up and no sound.

Re: Blinker Problem... (88vettelover)
mine was like that when I bought the car the other guy said he would click it on and off. I changed the outside rear drivers side bulb and it worked fine after that. (had to have my girl friend reach up there because my arms wouldnt fit.)

Re: Blinker Problem... (MY84REDC4)
I just went out and checked my lights again, right rear bulb is out, not the tailight but the side light. I'll have to see if that lights up when I turn the blinker on. Hmm, interesting situation we have here.
Looks like a trip to Advance. I'll keep ya posted.
EDIT:
Just checked them, they're not supposed to blink, but the bulb is burned out.
What is the name of the relay that controls the blinkers? I'm gonna make a trip to the parts store so I might as well pick that up while I'm there.

Re: Blinker Problem... (Wheelman)
I have a similar issue but a bit different. If the headlights are off all blinkers work fine. If I turn on the parking lights the passenger side front signal doesn't work. I know it is one faulty bulb that is causing it, I just can't find it yet.

Re: Blinker Problem... (vetteseniorcit)
A burnt out bulb will "deactivate" your turn signals. Best to replace that bulb before tearing into the rest of it.
