Electrical problem
1995 Pontiac Grand Am 6 cyl All Wheel Drive Automatic 155K miles

Hi. Whenever I hit my left turn signal down the arrow on the dash stays solid green and doesn't blink. Also the back tail light doesn't blink as well. The front light doesn't light up at all. The right turn signal is perfectly fine and works like it should. I have took it to a mechanic and he tried changing bulbs and the problem still exists. I asked car parts store and they said change the flasher and i did that and problem still there. When i manually flash it, the tail light flashes like a blinker but when i hit the brake pedal the brake light overrides the manual flash. Any idea on how to fix it it is dangerous for me driving because drivers get confused when i stop and turn without a blinker on. Also i got a new turn signal switch and that didn't resolve the issue. I do not know what to do. HELPP MEE PLEASEEE

Your turnswitch may be causing an issue? Also, you can check for voltage and ground at the problem circuit. Voltage for the turn circuit comes from the turn signal switch. When you had access to turn switch, did you check circuits, voltage? Usually, I can take a jumper wire and make them turn signal dance, before I put everything back together. Maybe a bad wiring circuit somewhere?
