Change the bulb. If when you turn on your park lights the indicator in the cluster is on for the turn signal, change the bulb. To find out which bulb needs changed, turn on your flashers/ hazards, walk around the car and see which bulb isnt blinking.
Sometimes water will get in the light and in the socket causing a poor connection also, so keep that In mind when you pull the bulb.

just went out today and changed my small 194 bulb and rplaced it with a new one , still has the same problem soo it wasnt the bulb that was causing this problem . when i have the headlights off its fine and works perfect but when i flick them on the little 194 bulb in the front turn signal goes out and causes the full drivers side turnsignals to NOT work at all .

i have no idea what is wrong with this .

can someone help please.

thanks

Sounds like you have either a burnt out signal in the front or the rear one is out..Just turn your hazards lights on and walk around the car what ever is not flashing is burnt out..Also Some sunfires had issues with the rear light sockets,But I would check all the bulbs first..

When I had my saturn sc2 I had a problem like that, bulb wasnt burnt out at all. Took some digging but turns out it was a broken wire in a little 6 inch section between the socket and connector. Swapped it out for a known good one and that was the problem. No physical signs of breakage at all, maybe take a multimeter and check the voltages?
