98 Buick Lesabre Blinker Problem

The driver side (front and rear) blinkers on my 98 buick have quit working. Everything is normal when I turn on the right blinkers, but when I flip the switch for the left blinkers neither come on. also there is no "clicking" noise when turned on for the left. My car has headlights that automatically come on at dark. When the headlights come on, the left green arrow on the dash stays on. But they still don't work. I was just wondering if this is a relay problem, or a problem with the switch. Thanks for any info you can provide.

Make sure you chech all the bulbs sometimes it might seem like the turn signal switch but can be the bulbs, also it can be the turn signal flasher which is located under the drivers kick panel. if you hear the clicking when you turn on the right then the flasher is probably okay. the front bulb can knock out the left side entirely.

After replacing turn signal fuse under dashboard @ steering column, get a buzzing sound from under the dashboard. It goes off when the right or left turn signal is engaged in the on position. How do we get rid of this buzz sound?

Change blinker on drivers side 2004 rendevous

Try turning on the drivers side blinker them stepping out of the car check to see if the front blinker is blinking then check the rear blinker. If one is on but going too fast or just staying on that's okay for now. It's the blinker that doesn't light up at all is the problem. The blinker BULB needs to be replaced Usually called "Turn Signal" these bulbs are readily and inexpensively available at any automotive parts supply stores. I'm posting a short "How To" video on here for you...

My 1999 buick lesabre passenger side blinker doesn't work only the front little yellow indicator come on solid. The rear doesn't turn brighter or flash but the entire driver side does.

Check your ground on the light that's not working first. Use a test light, check for power. If it has power, then the ground is probably bad. The older light sockets corrode and go bad.
