i just got home from school and noticed my front left signal lights are not working? The back one is working, The two bulbs are working fine they are just not blinking? what can i do to check to see if the flasher is gone or its something with the bulbs. I did have the marker light blown so I put new bulbs in both the marker and signal in the actual head light. If that makes any difference.

If the rear signal blinks, the flasher is working. If the front lights aren't connected to the circuit, the rear light should be blinking faster than normal.

You say the bulbs are good? Check for continuity through the bulb to be sure.
If there is continuity through the bulb, then it is in the circuit. Check for power in the bulb socket, then check for ground (make your own ground). One of these things is the issue.

The marker light on the side isn't supposed to blink. The bulb in the headlight housing near the grille is the only front turn signal bulb.

okay thanks. the flashing quicker is what gave it a way, because i noticed it as i was pulling into my driveway by the light flashing faster on the dash.
