Any Suggestions 99 Chevy S10 Turn Signal Problem?

Question

Trying to figure out, why my front right side signal lights don't blink. I don't have any problems with back lights

I've changed the Turn Signal Flasher and the bulbs,check fuses what else could it be?

It's getting fire because the bulbs will light up but want blink.

Answer 1

well if you have fire you may just have the wrong bulb? make sure it has two filaments? one for the the running lights and one for turn signals.  check your rear tail lights see if they blink?  call tthe any chevy dealer ! ask if your truck has more than one flasher relay?  most relays are they same just switch them around... ask for the parts department they wanna sell you parts....

Answer 2

You've got a resistance problem. Try cleaning the contacts in the socket ( use a pencil eraser). Do all the sockets as the rear ones can affect it also. Also check the book to make sure the bulbs are the right number for the truck. Someone may have slipped the wrong ones in there at one time. If that doesn't clear the problem try a heavy duty Flasher unit.

Answer 3

the flasher is about the only thing that it could be other than a bad bulb, make sure the one in the back is making a good ground other wise that will knock both of them out on that side and stop them from flashing,if its getting power id be looking for a bad ground wire,Chevy has a very thin ground wire in the back that breaks off and causes this too happen check it real good,good luck with it.
