Default '71 turn signal not working

My turn signal was working fine. Then it started only blinking twice. Now it doesn't come on at all. The arm still goes up or down and stays there until the turn is complete but no signal.

The fuse is good. The flashers work. The running lights work. The brake lights work.


I would have thought the switch, but the blinking twice before total outage has me scratching my head. Any ideas? Thanks!

Probably the bulb. But this should be posted here:

Hello, this Help section is for Help with the CorvetteForum website (account issues, etc.,) and is not the place to post technical questions about Corvettes, or other questions not related to the website, as they will not be seen by other Corvette owners.

Instead, please find the correct section, based on the generation of the Corvette.


Go back to the main forum page:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/

Now start to slowly scroll down until you see your generation of Corvette listed. C3 (1968 - 1982):
C3 Technical: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...performance-3/

We encourage new members to take some time to browse around the site and read the Announcements and Stickies as they contain important and frequently asked information.

Thank-you
