    I have the exact same problem with the signal light. Thought it was the bulb at first. Guess it couldn't be that simple. The fuses are fine but it wont flash. I figured it had to be a fuse problem but I don't know where the short could be because the wires look like they are in goo condition. What do you suggest?

    Front driver side turn signal does not blink, the rear blinks very fast. The brake lights work fine. Front bulbs have been replaced, problem still exists. Thanks!

Replace the socket, and I would suggest not using your signals while you have the cruise control on. There is a recall on other years cavaliers for the turn signal socket and they said it causes overheating in it when the cruise is on.
