AboutSkip Bollinger Expertise Heretofore, I will NOT answer any mechanical question. I am not qualified and can only offer speculations. You are better served by others that are true Techs. With that being said, please only ask about parts and locating obsolete Auto Parts. Thank you.
I have the ability to locate quite a few mechanical parts for American made vehicles fron the 1900`s to present. Some are OEM and some are aftermarket. This would include engine, brake and chassis parts. Body parts and trim are VERY difficult to find but you may inquire.
If you need assistance in repair, I have illustrated books for major American manufacturers that show some illustrations BEFORE 1974. If needed, I can supply repair manuals for your specific vehicle.
PLEASE REMEBER I'M A PARTS SPECIALIST, NOT A TECH!! Thank you..

Question I have a 94 oldsmobile cutless, and I'm trying to change the bulbs. Its not the fuse, I've checked already. Is there anyway you can tell me the location my blinker bulbs so I can dig in and get them changed?
thanks, Lelia.........aka Lala
Answer Lelia,
I take it, by your question, that BOTH right side blinker lamps, front and rear are not working?? If that is correct, it wouldn't be a fuse as that circuits both left and right systems. Please do the following:
Turn on the Emergency Flashers. Do the bulbs work now? IF NOT, look at the left side of the vehicle and notice where the flashing lamps are located. The right side will be a mirror image. Just open the hood and trunk to access the lamps. It is rare that both will go out at the same time but in the 35 years of pushing parts, I have seen it a few times.
IF they do flash, I'd guess the problem is in the steering column turn signal switch OR wiring coming out of it going to the lamps.
One last thought, has the car ever been wrecked on the right front or rear? It may have messed up the wiring going to the lamps.
That is the best thing I can come up with. PLEASE remember, in my PROFILE, I state I'm a Parts Professional, NOT a tech so if this doesn't satisfy your question, don't hammer my chops. I'm giving you the best information I can think of with the limited experience I have in repair. I could have clicked on "Not My Expertise" button but I thought this may help a little. Good luck..
