I noticed today that when i move my turn signal lever to the left that the arrow lights up and doesn't blink, when i do this my front and rear signal lights light up, but dont blink. I dont know what is wrong because when i move my turn signal lever to the right, everything works properly. Can anyone enlighten me to what may cause my left side signal lights not to flash but just turn on?

i know sometimes the turn signal lever can wear out which might cause something like that or the next thing would be a bad modual but more than likely that would affect both sides...

if it's a bulb the light stays on and doesn't blink. check your bulbs on the left side

it depends on how the circuit is built...

one of three things, you have a bulb burned out, you have a broken spring inside the turn signal switch, or your turn signal flasher is gone caput.

(The left and rite lamps are channeled thru the same simple circuit). You state you observed your left front and rear signal lamps illuminated. Did you check your side markers? If it/they are burned out this can cause a currant drop sufficient enuff to cause the thermal element to not open, therefore not flash. .§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§REFUSE TO LOSE§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§
