turn signal problem
 
Its my drive to work 91 nissan beater truck not my square
Last week the front left blinker quit, the bulb was dark like it may have blown so I got new bulbs, driving home the front right blinker quit. Changed both bulbs, same thing, no front blinkers.
I was thinking if the flasher relay quit it killed the whole circuit (?) but I had a spare and changed it, front left still didn't work.
The high beam switch hasn't worked in a long time but could the blinker/headlight switch cause only the front blinkers to quit?Today is my only day off so I will have to go 6 days to my next day off with no front blinkers.

Quick recap for those who say I talk too much
front blinkers dont work
rear blinkers do work
blinker/running lights are the same bulb, they all light up but front don't blink
high beam doesn't work unless i wiggle the switch

There is a possibilty it's the switch. The fact that they light up when the parking lights are turn on would mean the ground is good. You should have fuses also for the blinker. I would start with finding them and checking those as well. :chevy:

Fuses are good, I checked those after the bulb was changed

Not to familiar with this vehicle but is there a connection under the dash that all the wires come out of the column you can undo it and check to see if it has power coming in and out. that would be my next place to start. If it does then look at the front where the light is and see if there is a connection there and check it with a test light.:chevy:

Another test is to turn on the emergency flasher switch. If all the bulbs flash, then the bulbs and out of cab wiring are probably good.

Check for a dead relay if you have a bank of relays. Not sure when the change to relays came in.
