Turn Signals Don't Blink
I just replaced the bulbs in the front facing turn signals (1157NA) of my 1981 Camaro. I think the originals were clear or they could have been faded.
After I installed and tested them they turn on but they don't blink.
Any ideas why?
Isn't the flashing component connected to the fuse box?
I saw no noticeable rust or corrosion in the bulb socket.

Your flasher could be bad or there's a short/ground issue somewhere perhaps.
It's a silver cylinder on the fuse box, pretty easy to spot. They're a few bucks at the parts store.

Thanks for the reply. I will check the grounds then replace the cylinder.
It is just strange how 1 second it worked and now it does not.
It could be the ground too. I had to fight with the bulb to remove it. Maybe I pulled a wire out or something.

If you run low on blinker fluid ... we're running a special for $19.99 a gallon.

Do you want yours in the double roller, angular contact or micro polished ceramic models?
