Need advice on turn blinker not blinking
Left turn signal works fine; right one blinks at double-speed. Rt front bulb fine, so I was thinking OK, one of the two on the rt rear is out. However, neither one is blinking.
Would one of the two bulbs being out make the good one not blink, or is it probably the blinker sending thing? If it is the blinker thing, is that an easy DIY?
Thanks for any help.

I have seen 2 problems with this. 1 is the turn signal switch and the other is the hazard button which is the flasher for the turn signals.

Have you checked the turn signal fluid :D
Sorry, I just couldn't help it.

Looks like it's probably the turn signal switch. 4-way flashers work fine, all lit up, so I know it's not the bulbs. Oh well, another $100 deductable on my warranty. I'll let you know what the outcome is.

When i hit my hazzard button, my turn sig starts working again :cuss
I heard you have to replace defective hazzard button. I have to gather courage to see dealer to replace. I heard they have to remove dash :U

I had the same problem and it was the turn signal switch. You may not believe this but if it was the flasher, you have to disassemble the dash to replace the flasher, another good idea by the General. I can just see the engineers sitting around saying "how could we screw with them now?" and another saying "I know lets hide the turn signal flasher." :D :lolg:
