Turn signals blink on the wrong side

When I put the turn signal lever in the right turn position, the left signal blinks. When I put it in the left position, the right signal blinks. Occasionally, nothing happens when put in either position. What could be causing this? There are no computer codes present. Thanks.

Your signals don't go through any computer (that is next year, HA,HA), either a connector is hooked up wrong (crossed) to the lights or the wires were worked on and not put back together correctly.

Do you have a trailer hitch? If you do, the problem may be in the wiring for your trailer lights. I use to work for u-haul and installed $75,000 worth of hitches in one year. the vehicle in your picture take a power module to work your trailer lights. this means a device that takes power from the battery to make your trailer lights work, if you hook up trailer lights to the existing vehicle wiring it will cause a lamp-out sensor failure. If you have this wiring check for normal operation with a test light. If you go to u-haul they probably will inspect your wiring for free. If the device was installed properly, it still can malfunction and probably will sooner or later due to condensation inside the power module. I replaced many of these while working for u-haul.

2005 Pontiac Grand Prix GT. All blinkers work but the front driver side

You have a body control module problem, more then likely . The BCM turns the turn signal on an off. Have a scan tool hooked up (a profesional grade scan tool ) One that can read codes in the BCM.

Turn Signal Lamps
The STOP/TURN/HAZARD fuse in the instrument panel (I/P) fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to the body control module (BCM) for the turn signal lamps. When the turn switch is placed in the LEFT TURN or RIGHT TURN position, ground is applied from G202 through the turn switch, to the turn signal switch signal circuit and to the BCM. The BCM then applies battery positive voltage to front and rear turn signal lamps supply voltage circuits. The left front turn signal lamp is grounded at G100, right front at G101, left rear at G301 and the right rear is at G302.

Turn lights blink with hazards but not with turn signal..flasher replaced. is It the multifunction lever then??

There should be a turn signal flasher and a hazard flasher. They are two different parts. If you replaced the hazard flasher and not the turn signal flasher than I would start by replacing the turn signal flasher.

One thing you can do once you find the turn signal flasher is to unplug it and use a jumper wire between the two pins of the connector then turn the key to the run position and place the turn signal lever in the left or right position. If the turn signal lights know light up than the turn signal flasher is the problem

1999 buick lesabre my right signal doesnt blink it stays solid , my left turn signal blinks fine i have to manually blink the right side every turn , i put the hazard lights on and the front left and right...

The easiest thing for you to do would be to replace the bulbs that are on that circuit. You should have one or two bulbs with a double filament, one for the brake and turn signal and one for the tail light.
If that does not fix the problem, someone will need to check the circuit for power from the turn signal switch. It takes all of the lights on one side to make the turn signal flash.

Problem with turn signal when headlight is on

this sounds like a earthing problem , so check the wiring for the head lights, see if any wires are trapped between something, bare wire touching car body , anythingthat doesn't look correct, could also be the indicator lever itself with a problem , but check the headlight wiring first
