Default Left blinker stopped working tonight

I noticed that the left arrow stopped blinking and didn't hear any ticking either. It's just a steady light now. What's the deal?

The hazards still work/flash, though.

both hazards work? have you walked around the car with the hazards on and seen all 4 blinking? my guess would be the relay if it still doesnt work with the hazards on or the left hand blinker its the relay more than likely. if it works with the hazards on but not the turn switch then it is your switch. my guess.

I walked around the back and saw the rear hazards working. I forgot to check the front. My initial thought was that the turn signal relay went out. Where exactly is that? Underneath the dash?

there should be a panel in the engine bay where the relays are mounted i think on the battery side but i havent really looked before so dont quote me. the hazards and turn signals run on dedicated relays or do they run off the same one? <--im not sure about that but if they are on dedicated relays and if the hazards work which if the rear worked than the front do as well than your turn signal relay is out just pull the relay box lid find the relay pull it put some die-electric grease on the new relays connectors and push it in the spot button everything up and your gold.

ON EDIT: i re-read your post and if it is a steady green arrow your switch is fine and your relay is out.

Would a parts store carry the relay? Where else could I get it?

No need to change any relays before you check whether your front left turn signal is working or not.

I'm pretty sure you'll find your problem right there.

I just finished checking everything. The front left and rear turn signals do not work. The front left hazard doesn't work either.

So, what do I replace?

Where can I get that? Vatozone? It's the clear one, right?

The lights are still on - they just don't blink.

its your front bulb make sure its the yellow bulb and you connect it rigth to the wiring harness if it just lights on and does not blink just jiggle the bulb a little till starts to blink ... there is no need for a relay just your bulbs

Sweet. I'll do it tomorrow. I'm assuming Vatozone carries the bulb.
