The FRONT right turn signal light is not blinking. Assuming it is simply that I need a new amber bulb. How do I change it?

Must I removed the entire lens housing the bulb; there does not appear to be any other access. And if so, how do I go about remove the housing?

Also, where is the flasher relay located. How do I identify it, just in case that's the problem. My right rear turn signal seems to be blinking fine, in case that's of interest in assessing the problem overall.

I'd appreciate any help you might be able to provide.

I doubt it is the flasher since the rear one blinks, but it is in the passenger compartment fuse/relay box.If there are screws in the front of the lens then it is most likely changed that way, otherwise you will need to gain access to the rear of the lens to get the bulb out

If your blinkers arn't working at all (neither the outside blinkers or dash board blinkers) I've found tapping on the "Hazards" button fixs it. There is a faulty switch in the button that shorts out the whole blinker system.

that might not be it, but this drove me crazy for about 2 years and noone in the shops could tell me what was wrong. i figured this out by chance. turning the hazards on and off again will usually make the switch work.

your situation sounds more like a bad bulb.

there is a fuse box under the dash on the drivers side. you have to read the labels to find the turn signal one. i cant remember exactly where the labels are, might be on the box or in the manual.

good luck
