Side blinkers don't blink at all

[Pohanian]

What could cause the blinkers on either side of the front fender not to blink at all? I have checked the light bulbs (both sides) and fuse box. All seem to be functional. The signal lights within the headlight assemblies (left and right) and tailight assemblies (left and right) are blinking properly. All signal lights (other than side blinkers) blink perfectly when emergcy light switch is pushed. Please help...

On a North American car they are side markers, not tun signals. But there is a hack you can do to make them blink.

Sandy came up with this years ago.

This worked on the Boxsters and the early 996s. The headlights for the 996s changed in 2002, and I do not remember if you did the same thing or not. I think Kirby did this on his 2003 996.

The wire colors change on the later models but the basic process is the same.

Kirby did this on a couple of late model cars at a WOCD - San Jose and MY02 had different wire colors as did the MY04 car we worked on.
