I have a 99 Olds Intrigue... Last week, left blinker started blinking really fast. Couple days later, right blinker started blinking really fast. I replaced all 4 bulbs, and now the right side works fine and the rear driver's side works fine. Front driver side blinker still does not work, it only lights up. Flipped both of the front sockets around, and same result. Right side works fine, driver's side front still only lights up... does not blink. Arf mechanics and people smarter than I, what is wrong because I have no clue.  |

Could be your flasher relay. It's usually under the dash. Generally, how easy would that be to get to? Don't exactly want to remove my dashboard... They never seem to go back in as easy as they came out. It's usually fairly easy. It just plugs in. Click the link below to see what it looks like. http://www.amazon.com/ACDelco-12450054-Hazard-Signal-Flasher/dp/B000NW6VVW Just lay in the driver side floor and look for it under the dash with a flashlight. May be near your fuse box. They're generally easy to find and accessible. |

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction  |

A flasher will work or not work...it can't single out one bulb. I'f it takes the 3057 or 3157 bulbs...those sockets are crap and usually suspect. Turn the hazards on and wiggle the bulb in the socket to see if it will momentarily start to flash.
also look in the powder distrabution center for blown fuses(under hood), some vehicles have independant fuses for each turn bulb. |

I'm with you on this both regarding the flasher and the bulbs/sockets. One other possible issue is the turn signal switch itself. Turning on the 4-way flashers should bypass the left/right turn signal parts, mostly. |
