Turn Signal Doesn't Flash Randomly

If the turn signal sometimes works, the bulb may be in a position where it makes contact once in a while. This will make the bulb work properly, but when it falls out of position, it will not work.

Turn Signals Don't Blink or Light Up Always

If the bulb is completely out of position, it will not be able to make contact and light up.
