Driver side bulb out...

 

[pjm8047]

both good

Headlight switch might cause that. Are they bright? Did you try another flasher? What year?

 

[sleepar]

Could be a ground corroded...

There's a ground on the body front and rear of the car one on each side but they connect together at one point.... on the front it's by the radiator drivers side on the rear it's on the valance... follow the wires and see where they go sometimes the wire looks good but is blackened with corrosion and has lost it conductivity...

Well, hell, try the new flasher.

Think simple things first...

I will.Got a big car show friday.I just had my radiator replaced last week.You think something got loose?

The ground up front is real easy to reach from the radiator... it's on up high by the top and if it got a little tug it could have been compromised...

I've seen the ground wire on the radiator bolt before. You might be onto sumting.

I was thinking the lights would be dim with a bad ground but it might be just enough to keep them from flashing...

Are the grounds colored brown on that year?

 

[sleepar]

One bolt 2ground wires....

 

[pjm8047]

Is it the cable coming off the battery?

 

[khryslerkid]

:sFun_doh2: I'll let you take it from here Sleepar!

 

[sleepar]

No .... from the harness from the light buckets...

Someone post some pics....

At some point the free consultation stops and I start charging buy the hour...

simple... if broken, won't flash the right side. Is just one flashers for both sides ;) works or not to both sides

if one side doesn't flash you don't have load able to heat the bimetallic inside i.e. no high watt bulbs. Are you just looking at cluster light keeping on, or all bulbs outside on left side keep lighting up without blink?
