Hello everybody, I'm new to this forum; this is my first post.

I just purchased a 1995 Pontiac trans am convertible with the 6-speed.

When I turn on my driver-side turn signal in the rear, both bulbs blink, meaning both of the bulbs are next to the backup bulb.

When I turn on the turn signal for the passenger side, only the bulb right next to the backup light blinks and not the one next to it, and I'm not sure how it's supposed to be.

Are they both supposed to blink like my driver side, or is only one bulb supposed to blink like my passenger side, and how can I fix this to get them even?

Any help will be appreciated, and this is the second trans am I've owned; the first one was an 87 with a 5-speed.

I figured out the problem.

I didn't realize there was a third smaller light bulb at the edge of the brake light assembly, and that was out.

After I replaced it, everything started working correctly.
