Well i noticed that the left blinker works fine.  now the right side blinks about two times faster and the blinker is not working.  So how do I fix the right blinker?

So which one is it? Is your right blinker blinking twice as fast or is it not working at all? Or maybe you meant to write "not working properly."

at least one bulb is dead. &nbsp;replace the bulb(s).

I assume what you mean is that, your left blinker on the outside of the car is functioning, and the right one is not. However, inside the car, the left blinker is "ticking" at a regular pace, while the right one is "ticking" double time? That's normal, it lets you know that one of your blinkers is out. Either front or rear. Go under the car, and reach in, you can pull the housing out, then you can change the bulb (if its dead). On my car, I have a weak connection there, so when its cold in the morning, it won't work. But once the car warms up, its fine. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/whatsthat.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':whatthe:'> damn car.

Once you pull the bulb, on the copper connection part of it, will be a number. Take that to an auto parts store, and they'll give you your replacement. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

My car is doing the same thing with my front driver side blinker...... the bulb is okay there is just rust in the socket to it needs to be replaced..... however when i turn my lights on for night driving.... on the instrument cluster the passanger side blinker light stays on solid and so does the blinker on that side both front and rear and when you move the switch up or down it will not turn either blinker on or off.... possibly because it detects a short in the driver side maybe..... ill soon find out....

I had this too, when I first bought my car. I popped out my driver's side blinker bulb, cleaned the contacts, and voila. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> Your problem may, however, be a little more complicated. Chances are it's just some corrosion or a bad connection somewhere. Worst comes to worst, you'll just have to pop your tail lights out to check the bulbs...
