Re: *blinker freaked out* (ZR-1DUDE)
Most likely the bulb is burned out - that is definitely the problem with my wife's 98 Vert. I have a replacement bulb but now comes the $64 million question - any "how to's" on how to replace the bulb? The Owner's Manual is no help - talking to the local Chevy Dealer Service Rep I apparently have to remove the fascia underneath the turn signal, jpull back the cold air intake (?) - anyone been through this? Sometimes I just miss the good Ol' days (!!!). :crazy: :bb

Dude, Dean....one of your bulbs is out....probably just the DRL which is a part of the turn signal. Pick of the phone and reach out and touch someone buddy :D

Re: *blinker freaked out* (devo)
Dude- mine is doing the same thing!
As I posted a few days ago
My RIGHT side REAR turn signals have stopped working.
hazard lights work
brake lights work
When brake or hazards are on and I move the signal stick up to turn right, the rear right lights go out altogether.
The front right blinker blinks very quickly.
I pulled the right rear bulbs and they look OK.
I checked fuses 8&15 and both are OK.
I have replaced the rear bulbs- nothing has changed.
I have been advised to change the flasher module- except you have to remove the dash panel ...
Keep me posted if you find anything.

now for the $100,000,000 question. how in the heck do you get to it. i looked in the books and it really doesnt say how to get to the DRL's.
does any one know how? the one that went out is on the passanger side.

Re: *blinker freaked out* (devo)
If you have hands small enough you can reach it by raising the headlights and removing the bezel. It will give you just enough room to reach the DRL/turn signal lamps.
Otherwise go get some Rhino ramps and drive the car up. You will see a panel in front of the front wheel that you can easily remove and gain access to the lamps that way.

Re: *blinker freaked out* (devo)
Yep, your light is burnt out, the flasher arrow that goes crazy pertains to the blinker that is out.
NOTE: It kind of is a PITA to change the flasher in our cars.

Re: *blinker freaked out* (Untouchable00)
Had to replace our DRL lamp on right side, same symptoms as described here. Local GM dealed did it for me as I don't have any ramps. $35.00 (1/2 hour) to replace both bulbs.
