Ok,my parents have a 1998 plymouth voyager, and the front blinker is broken and doesnt work. My dad said he thinks its a simple fix but he cant fix it. If anyone knows how to fix this problem,please tell me,i tried a google search,but didnt find anything. Thx

Just to rule out the obvious, did he replace the bulb?

i know for my car when im replacing the headlight I have to go in through the back (under the hood) but for the blinker i have to take off the trim around the headlight on the outside of the car. Maybe its the same for the van.

you have to go from in the wheel well, there is a little round cover, remove it, and reach your hand inside, you'll have to feel around for the bulb. the drivers side is a big pain cause the harness for the headlights is there.

My Cavalier is like that. To replace the blinkers, you have to remove the plastic shroud that covers the front of the engine bay, remove the headlight, then reach way the heck down inside, where the dang bulb is mounted sideways. Pain in the butt.

Have you tried adding a little blinker fluid? That should clear the problem right up.

sorry, I couldn't help myself

They don't have blinker fluid, only headlight fluid. And you have to go all the way to the store to get it, and don't forget some elbow grease.

Were you able to get it working dingus?
