Hello community,
I have a weird problem with the turning signal of my 1998 Lumina LS.
Only the left rear one is not working anymore. I replaced the bulb, but still not working.
The relais (flasher) is still clicking, fast like the bulb is gone.
Any idea what this can be?
Thx

Bad socket or broken ground on that side.

The other possibility is the signal switch itself. A little time with a voltmeter under the steering column might help isolate the problem.

Would this cause that only one turning signal is not working? I thought if the switch is gone both signal aren't working.

No they are seperate circuits.....but I would be leaning towards the socket.....

Check for power at the socket, and work your way towards the blinker switch....checking the wire and connections as you go.
