Default Front right parking bulb is on but wont blink

Lets see if I can make sense out of this. When turning on the right turn signal the outside blinker bulb doesn't flash but will light up with the parking lights on. Does the bulb need to be replaced or is it a relay somewhere. Thanks for any help

I think it's the bulb if the other one flashes. I have a bulb like this on my truck. It went when I put in my new headlights bummer eh.

I thought it might be the bulb also but it lights up when the parking light is on, it just doesn't blink when the blinker is on. It looks like the entire headlight assembly needs to be taken out to get to it. Where is the relay located?

Nope, I just replaced my Lights. (The whole thing) You can either try and squeeze it would of the tiny hole or remove the torx screw? From the side there It's a tiny screw between the actual headlights and the park lights, closer to the out side of the vehicle than You can pull the whole bottom piece out. (These are two pieces) This will give you room to remove. It's just a pain in the *** to do.

IIRC, aren't there seperate relays for both sides? I might be wrong here and I don't have a wiring schematic at work. I would doubt that having a filament out would have the lights just stay on and not blink twice as fast. Try replacing the bulbs, it will cost you a total of $4.00, and if they are OK, it is always nice to have spares.

i think the problem is the bulb there are two filaments in them, one for parkinglights, and one for blinkers, the blinking one is burnt out, i believe (not 100% sure on this) that there is one relay for all the blinkers and if you replace the bulb it will fix the problem
