What do I replace to make it, ya know, blink again? Right one works fine. Although it does seem a bit delayed... Like I turn it on, it stays solid for just a little bit, then blinks all happy like.

Generally that means you have a bulb burned out in the front or rear. It could also be caused by a bad ground. Check all the bulbs first, grounds, then relay.

I have had this problem a number of times. which side is not working? go to the back lights and pull off the cover. You have a bad bulb. But if you turn on your lights your lights will work it is the flashng eoement that is bad. find the buld and replace it. Hope you understood that.

I had a similar problem when I bought my car. The previuos owner had replaced the front right turn signal socket and wired it incorrectly. I only had to disconnect it, figure out what wire went where, solder and wrap to fix it.

Very easy.

Step 1. Turn on lights.

Step 2. Turn on Hazards.

Step 3. Walk around car & look at lights.

Step 4. Replace the one(s) not working.

Got to it right before I could.
I had the same problem myself. The problem is that the "blinker" unit is thermallay activated. What happened in my case is the wires are longer on one side of the system, as compared to the other side. One side blinked (the longer side - it produced more resistance - therefore actually heating up the metal plate in the blinker unit) and the other did not (not enough resistance to heat up the metal plate in the blinker unit).

I hope this made sense!
