Blinker/flasher bad?

Question.....
I was driving home today and all the sudden the driver side blinker hood light, driver side gage blinker light and driver side front poser blinker light stopped working.  bulbs all seem fine from pull out inspection of all.

whats weird is that the driver side tail light blinker is working just fine though.

and All the passenger side blinker lights are fine. fuses all seem fine.  

Would a bad flasher? I tried replacing that with my spare one but still have the same issue on that driver side.

Anyone else wanna chime in??
:shruggy:


A little more clarification...

when I activate the left side turn signal you can clearly hear the flasher blink noise but issue with the lights discribbed above still an issue.

when I pull the hazzards on I have the same problem with the left side blinkers. only the driver side is the tail light and "all" passenger side blinker lights actually blinking.

when you turn on blinker...do bulbs light up and not blink? What happens when you turn on 4way flasher...does every bulb flash?

If blinkers work on one side and not other, to me flasher is good...I'm betting a bad connection somewhere...flasher needs bulbs to work in order to make them blink. If no power getting to bulbs through flasher, they will not blink

The driver side tail light blinkers are working and blinking fine. What happens when you turn on 4way flasher...does every bulb flash?  every flasher bulb but the ones described above are turning on and blinking.

If blinkers work on one side and not other, to me flasher is good...I'm betting a bad connection somewhere...flasher needs bulbs to work in order to make them blink. If no power getting to bulbs through flasher, they will not blink  I will try putting in new bulbs and check for firm connections at all three tomorrow after work Bryan. Thanks for the input.  :2thumbs:

Then I say you got a connection issue at turn signal connector under the column or a bad turn switch

I highly doubt all those bulbs went bad at the same time...

Good call Bryan....thats what it was..All fixed and working perfect again. that column connection is such a terrible weak link in the electrical. Almost as bad as the bulkhead connector.  :rotz:
