i have had my car apart for afew months for a blown head gasket. about a week before i tore it down i pulled the nose and rear bumper cover off to be painted. the turn signals wouldnt work for that week. i figured no big deal it was bc of the small plug on the rear bumper that runs to the marker lights. well tonight me and my buddy were putting it back together and we cant get either turn signal to flash. the light just comes on, on the dash and the second filament will come on, on the bulb. the small 194 bulb will not light up at all no matter what setting i have the lights on. the weird thing is my flashers still work. plz help thank you.

Iirc the turn signal and hazard flasher are separate. The flasher for the turn signals is on the lower part of the dash, right above where your leg area for the gas pedal. The hazards are on the box under the dash near the steering column. I would check them.I had a similar issue but I kept blowing the turn signal fuse. I found one wire to the small bulb in the.front had gone to ground. I had to pull apart the big connector under the dash to clean the contacts too. Now my signals work.
