Need blinker fluid?
Ok seriously I know there's no such thing as blinker fluid but I do need help with my blinkers.......when I got the car when blinker work and one blinker stay. So I changed all four tail lights and my blinker fuse now my blinkers do not blinker at all whatsoever but they do get power to so I can push up on the direction I'm turning in the light Will stay on...... and I also thought it was strange that it didn't affect my hazards my hazards work properly

Assume that one side (left or right) works and the other does not?? Could be a bad turn signal flasher. The hazards have their own flasher.

You only need blinker fluid if your car has piston return springs.

I changed the air in my tires because fresh air is better. My turn signals are much brighter now.

I don't think that's totally correct. If for example you have an L98 with muffler bearings, then you will need the blinker fluid periodically.

Changed my tail light bulbs and blinkers worked again. The next day they weren't. Was the front amber bulb this time. Check the bulbs again.

If all bulbs are lit on steady with each the same brightness I'd replace the relay.

Ahh! How could I overlook such an obvious detail
Reminds me of when I once had a muffler bearing seize in the middle of a huge burnout.. blew everyones ear drums out.
