Please help I am absolutely no mechanic. I had been blowing fuses and went to a 30 amp, I know that is too much. Now my rear blinker light is burnt out and I cant even figure out how to get the bulb out. I have removed all that paneling that is in the trunk and got the rear light loose , . I don't know what I am doing! This really sucks. I have a firebird manuel but it is too far over my head. Please could some one help me in simple terms? And YES I am blonde! LOL

I GOT the bulb out and replaced. The emergency flashers work both sides, but the blinkers still don't blink.

Niether of them do ,front nor back. BUT---- ON THE bright side ,I figured out the problem,(so they are working now) It was that little round silver can looking "blinker thing". We took one out of our truck and it worked in the firebird, so I went and bought one for the bird. Voilla! NOW something smells like it is burning--- GREAT, probably what caused the problem in the FIRST place. Thanks though for answering.
