Exclamation Blinker doesn't work

Okay guys, I've searched, and can't find the answer.

Here's my problem:

My left turn signal works fine, but my right doesn't. When I turn on my right turn signal, it clicks fast, but the light doesn't go on in the guage cluster, the front signal, or the rear signal. Also, when I turn on my hazards, only the left side blinks. Again, the whole right side is disabled. What is the problem, can I fix it, and how?!?

Sounds like a bad CPU flasher board. You can try resoldering it yourself or I have already rebuilt ones available on my webstore/site.

You may wish to revise your search, as this is a somewhat common problem and covered already once this week.

If it was a bulb, at least one bulb would still be working.

I suppose it is possible however that both turn signal bulbs were burnt out on the same side, which would lead to the same problem.

either check your ground or the place where the power source divides in the circut. you may have a bad connection somewhere.

i always try to go for the simple things first rather that the hardest, been bitten far too many times thinking it was something complex when it was in fact something simple.

Usually when your blinker blinks fast, it means that either a taillight or a headlight is out, Chekc your taillights, brakelights, and backuplights on the right side. and also side markers....... but i dont think second gens have them...

Well, as far as I know, all the bulbs work. I've checked them already. I'm thinking it's blinking fast because it was grounded out or something. I know it can't be the bulbs because the green arrow in the guage cluster doesn't light up either.

The only thing that doesn't work on the right tail light are the turn signals. Everything else works fine.

Icemark, I'll try revising my search.

Thanks for the input everyone, it is much appreciated!!

Okay Icemark, after revising my search, I've come to the conclusion that you are right. I think I'm going to need that $40 CPU Flasher Board of yours. I'm sending over a pm!

well if you can hear the relay clicking i would still invest $3 in some bulbs, they may look ok but that doesn't mean they are.

There are no diodes on that power or output circuit.

Please do not post if you do not know! Posting inaccurate information is a bannable offense here.
