Re: back Left turn signal

is the front signal still working fine?? and after you change the bulb,does the bulb flash fast or is it just the sound going quick? as far as which fuse im not sure if that would cause it but if it was you would have to look in ur manual for the fuse chart and see which one it is.

Re: back Left turn signal

aye my99 is correct in questioning the fuse, multiple things are wired into that same circuit, if only 1 thing isnt working its not the fuse... or really not likely to be i should say.

the blinkers/brake lights (aside from the center light)/corner lights and i think maybe more are wired on the same circuit. it is very common to have issues with the multifunction switch inside your column. wiggle your wand around there see if it might come back on by chance.

also make sure the bulb is plugged tight and the wiring in the back is good, check the harness and lampholder for issues such as loose parts or corrosion. make sure the lamp is getting voltage.

Re: back Left turn signal

well like caponi said, make sure everything is nice and tight. make sure there is no corrosion on the wires and the fittings

Re: back Left turn signal

Yeah that actually happened to me once, front blinkers going crazy and back ones just not working at all. I actually found some of that ricey stuff in the front blinker fluid, and changed it out with GM FuseFluid from the Chevy dealer. Havent had a problem with them since! =D

Re: back Left turn signal

rice doesnt belong anywhenear you car, if you have it in there purge it immediatly it could cause your car to go Hyundai on you.

the blinker fluid rarely has problems, ive had to flush mine 2 or 3 times but thats only becouse i turn so often. i dont like to drive straight i like to be on the edge.

btw for those wondering why there blinkers are going hectic, its becouse if the system senses an issue with the circuit iE the blinker isnt blinking, thats its way of warning you. not all GM's do it but from my experience a hefty number of them do.
