Today I noticed that my left turn indicator was out while the right was still on (when low beams are turned on for night time driving). At first I thought it was because of a dead bulb...but when I flicked on the left turn signal...the left indicator blinked as usual...

In other words, when not signaling....only right indicator is on (when both is expected to be on but not blinking)
signal left...left blinks
signal right...right blinks

any ideas why this may be?

the contact between the bottom of the bulb and socket isnt good. did you try swapping bulbs right to left???

the turn signal bulbs have two filaments: the brighter one for flasher and the other just stays on with the headlights. one is probably burnt out.


thanks. Ill switch the bulbs like 808 said and see if i need to get new bulbs.
