I have 2002 c5 corvette. I noticed the turn signal was blinking fast. I pulled the bulb and it was black. I put in a new buld and now both lights work but I still dont have my blinker back. The dash light blinks fast and so dose the rear lights but no front drivers side blinker. The light scoket looks good. Any ideas what the problem is?

 

Thinking 'fuse' or the 'relay' - the relay is your emergency flashers, had to replace mine with the same issues about 5 years ago.

 

It could be in your turn-signal switch or there is a relay for DRL/Signal for each light under the hood.

It's not the hazard switch.

 

If the bulb was black, it burned out. Pull the lamp unit and you'll probably find it melted due to the heat of the DRLs. Water gets into the housing and causes the bulb to blow out.

I'm surprised the socket/lamp holder looks OK but the problem is common and and its easy fix using sealant. I'll pull out the procedure for you.

Ok. I have checked all the fuses, All looked good. I turned on the four way flashers and the rear and front passenger flash normal but no flash from the drivers side front. When I turn on the running lights, All the lights light up as they should. When I turn on the blinker driver side, the back blink fast but I get nothing from the front. The passenger side is working fine. I think it has to be a bad wire some where. I think it happened after I went through the car wash. I wont do that any more. I am lost for what to look for next. Any one have any ideas?

 

You probably have a bad connection at the socket or simply a bad bulb.look for corrosion on the bulb contacts.

 

[QUOTE=tdlong98;1580632979]replace the socket..Autozone sells em cheap

 

I fixed it. I had a bad conection on the socket. I cleaned it and it works great for now. Thank you

 

If you had a bad connection on the socket, be prepared to replace the socket. It has been overheated. Also feel the top of the housing for a hole burned in it.

 

That's right.
