Right turn signal not flashing on 1992 Buick LeSabre

My turn signals are not working on the right side of my 1992 Buick LeSabre. There was a bulb out & I replaced it, now all the turn signal lights are on, just not flashing. The left side is working fine. I pulled the fuse & checked it, it looks fine & since there is only 1 fuse for both turn signals & the left is working, it is probably not the fuse. There are relays in the engine compartment, but I don't know which relay it is or if the relay could be the problem. How do I get my right turn signals flashing again automatically?

Back in the late 80's early 90's GM's turn signal switch in would get loose afetr some use and one side or the other turnsignals wouldn't flash or only the third bake light worked and/ or you couldn't flip your headlights to high beams and have them stay on without holding the turn signal arm back. Perhaps if turnining the bulb over as Mr. Scary suggested proves fruitless. and you may explore that option. Get an assistant and have him watch your blinkers tailights etc. and turn your blinker on and push the blinker arm firmly toward the dash and see if that resolves your problem.

I know this will sound Stupid. Get back inside to the Bulb that you Replaced and Turn it Over. Some of these Bulbs will only work if they are in a Certain way. Have that Side Blinker Going when you are Messing with the Bulb to Minimize the Work load on thisPlease Rate my Response, I need all the Help That I can Get! Thanks! Job.

I have a 1996 buick lesabre custom . Left signal light but don't flash. Right turn doesn't come on. But Hazzard lights works fine.

If all bulbs ok, sounds like the turn signal switch at the base of the steering column - loose or faulty.

1992 buick lesabre right turn signal wont blink

There should be a flasher plugged into your fuse box of attached to two wires under your dash. REplace that and see if it is fixed.

1999 buick lesabre my right signal doesnt blink it stays solid , my left turn signal blinks fine i have to manually blink the right side every turn , i put the hazard lights on and the front left and right...

The easiest thing for you to do would be to replace the bulbs that are on that circuit. You should have one or two bulbs with a double filament, one for the brake and turn signal and one for the tail light.
If that does not fix the problem, someone will need to check the circuit for power from the turn signal switch. It takes all of the lights on one side to make the turn signal flash.

2004 buick lasabre, right side turn signal blinking fast.

Check the front turn signal bulbs. This will affect the resistance in the circuit and cause the working light to flash at a much faster rate.

Left turn signals won't flash, Right side works fine. Replaced front and rear turn bulbs (rear was burned out). Bulbs come on fine on the left side, they just won't flash.

Gday mate, we had a problem with another late model vehicle similar to that, the bulb that was put into the reverse light was not exact brand product ( ohmage was slightly wrong ) and fowled up computer, correct bulb in place and disconnect battery to reset K A M ( keep alive memory) problem solved, BEWARE, some vehicles cannot have KAM reset except for dealer computer tethered reboot , just try putting the factory correct bulb(s) in and see how it goes, geoff. hope this helped.

Turn Signal Fuse or switch replacement? '93 buick lesabre?

Yes all the wiring needs to be complete. Then all the bulbs must be inserted into sockets. left side marker right side front turn back turn reverse lights brake light everything. Then make sure they all work. The problem could even be a bulb thats on the fritz ready to blow but still on and dim little light. if that's all fine then it's probably your flasher. There are 2 flashers one for turn and one for hazards but I think they are the same but still separate. located under dash on either side of the steering wheel. The flasher closest to the door is up in there pretty far it's size is about like a 2 liter cap and it's silver. good luck

Right tail light and front right signal wont work unless signal or brake applied

Since this is happening only to one side of the vehicle and not the other than i would say you have an electrical fault in the switch and or a hot wire is broken not allowing your lights on that side to come on when told to do so.

Turn Signal Flasher

What do you mean? Its the same as most cars. The left hand bar on the steering wheel. If u mean the signal lights on your dash, there should be one left of your speedometer for left signal and one on right of it for right signal unless yours aren't working for some reason.
