Turn signal flasher questions

[JJZ71]

My blinkers do not work, sometimes!
Lights are off: both blinkers work no matter what direction, both arrows on dash flash but rear blinkers are fine.
Lights are on: Neither blinker works up front, dash arrows are on all the time regardless of using blinkers or not, rear blinkers light up brighter but will not flash.

-------------------------------New tonight-------------------------------------------
All is the same as above BUT, right blinker now makes the turn signal flasher tick when in use.
1. Any way to test the flasher or is it toast?
2. Could this be the cause of the orignial blinker issues?

Flaher has # GM09442872 on it. Not sure if this helps or not.

Did you check the blinker fluid? Did it smell burnt?












































Sorry man, someone had to say it.

I sort of have this same problem, both of my blinkers work with the lights off but when i turn on my lights the right blinker works and the left blinker flashes rapidly but all of the bulbs work. I think it might have something to do with my lightbar but im going to check it out tomorrow ill let you know if i figure it out.

Picked up a new flasher this morning, no more ticking/buzzing noises when the blinker is on, but did not fix my issue either

Well as you know I had a VERY similar problem. You need to go ahead and upgrade the flasher. Get one from autozone that will handle LEDz so if you ever go that route you wont have to wire in resistors all over the place. The LED flasher will keep you from having to do that. Once you do upgrade the flasher see how it acts. I had a couple problems with the brightness of mine and certain bulbs not flashing, it also did better when the lights were off. I found that If I took bulbs out and moved them around or flipped them 180 I eventually got them all even brightness and flashing correctly.

try checking your sockets and wiring that there has to be something going on somewhere

I have a loose connection somewhere, but have no idea where. Happened all of a sudden too.

I thought I did too but try re arranging the bulbs like I said. Also, how old are the bulbs? Might simply be time for some new ones.
