Faulty left turn signal on a Grand am 1993

Turn sigs on American cars use the "heat the spring to break the connection" method. The more power the ciruit consumes, the faster it blinks. A burned out bulb would make it blink slower, or not blink at all. I don't know what you mean by "hole socket that contains 2 bulbs." I have the same car and I don't have to do that.

When you say....won't blink at all.. for a burn bulb.... does the other lights get's on ( there are 2 bulbs that usually blinks for each side ( 4 bulbs total)

Sorry for my english... as it's not my first language.

When I say that the "socket contains 2 bulbs".. I mean... that I cannot only replace 1 bulb. I doesn't seem to get out.. unless that rust has made it's way.... but when I take out the bracket that holds my burn bulb.... there is

Yes. If a bulb is burned out on the left side but not the right, the left will not blink but will stay on. The right side will blink normally.

I bet your English is better than what I can write in your first language.

Oh, I see what you mean. The book says the bulbs are 2057's but they are really 3057's. They unplug straight out - no twisting.

Here are some links to pics:

Thanks.... it worked....

The problem was a burn flasher light. I replaced the 2 bulbs.... the were stuck inside by probably grease that dried over the years ( 11 years). That's why I thougt the were glued to the bracket.

I'm not use to that . on Japanese car, the light will burn, but you will never know until you look outside.. and the flasher still continue to flash.. even if the bulb is burn...... on a japanese car.. that problem would have probably been a selenoid.....

Thanks for the great response.... I really appreciate it...

Have a good week...

I had this kind of problem years ago in a ford, and it was a wire shorting against the frame, the insulation had worn were it was rubbing against a sharp edge and when I turned the turn signal on it didn't blow a fuse or anything, it just lit up the light on the dash and didn't blink.

all the lights have to work, that is for sure the problem, get a new bulb and a screw driver, a 1157 or a 1034. thats easy
