98 TA Turn Signal Problem
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: spuds

OK here is my situation. All of my lights work, however my turn signals do not anymore. When I turn on my hazards, only the rear break lights falsh. And my daytime front lights which should be on all the time only turn on when I use my keyless entry. Does anyone know what this problem could be? And does anyone know where the flasher is located on a 98 trans am? I appreciate all help in this matter, thanks!

I finally found the Flashers, they were located under the steering column. Here is my dilemna. I switched the two flashers around to see if one was burnt out, however the front ones still did not blink. But here is the funny part, the back ones did. What the heck can be going on here? First both the front and rear blinkers did not work (hower the back hazards did flash). But when I switched the flashers around, the rear blinkers started working. This has me so confused.

I think theres 2 bulbs in each lens cover. Just change the bigger bulbs and you should be okay. I have one that blows every couple of months for some reason and my drivers side running light and blinker will not work. It's a quick fix.

OKive switched the front two turn signal larger bulbs, which both worked from the start. And still I cant seem to get the front blinkers to work. Ive never seen somethign like this before since all of the lighhts work, iver changed both flashers, and futhermore, the rear blinkers work fine. I just cant seem to understand what the problem could be.

Check the grounds to the front light socket

I agree, the light sockets is a good place to go. They leak in water all the time if not maintain prperly. I had to buy a set to replace the ones I had in my car just two weeks ago. I got them from Oreillys for eight bux each. I broke a little tab inside the sockets and they work just as good as the forty dollar ones GM sells.
