when locking/unlocking the car

When I lock/unlock my car the passenger side turn signal bulb in the headlight does not blink. It does blink properly when I use the turn signal and hazards though. All the other bulbs (driver side, both rears) flash when I lock/unlock. Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks

your marker light is burned out .. the turn signal bulb is a totally separate bulb and the hazards use the turn signal bulbs.

it's a $10.00 bulb at pepboys, you'll have to pull down the front part of the wheel well lining to get to the bulb .. simple 15 minute job.

Actually the front turn signal and front parking light are the same bulb. It's a dual filament type. One filament for the turn signal, one for the parking light. Hence why the turn signals work.

Other then that, Peter is right about the repair. Quick and easy and cheap

One of the filaments in the bulb burned out. Replace the bulb, and your set!
