My 98 Buick Century just recently encountered a problem. When I try to
use my right turn signal it blinks fast in the rear, and the front
doesn't come on. My left turn signal works fine. At first I thought my
light bulb was blown, which made sense because it wasn't coming on. The
weird thing is, is that the right turn signal bulb comes on when my
lights are on, but goes off while my lights are off. While the left
turn signal bulb stays on when my lights go off. When my lights are on
and I attempt to use my right turn signal, it doesn't blink, but stays
lit. I checked the bulb, and the filament isn't burnt, I even replaced
the light bulb. I checked the fuse for the turn signals, and that works
as well. Any suggestions on what I should do? Note: This happened while
I was driving, worked one second, tried to turn it on again, and it
started going real fast.< src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" ="text/"></>< ="text/">_uacct = "UA-939292-42";

I had a similiar problem with the turn signal and found that I had to replace the bulb socket on my 2001 Olds Intrigue. They are prone to getting moisture in there and frying the socket holder. Good idea to replace both the socket and the bulb. The end of the bulb may be a bit fried and that is a good indication of a solution to the problem.
