turnlight problem

[njcamry]

hi guys, my front left turn indicator doesnt work (97 camry)..the yellow one..inside it just clicks real fast and nothing outside.. i bought the bulb from autozone for the model, and put it in, but it still doesnt work..now, it just flickers real fast again inside but the bulb is lighter than usual..what could be the case?
also my wiper all of a sudden doesn't work on the intermission level, it just goes to the next llevel..

The new bulb should have fixed it.
Get a spray can of electrical contact cleaner from your local electronics store and spray clean the empty socket ... also spray the bulb metal contacts.
Let dry a minute and replace. If that doesn't work, you may not be getting voltage to the socket.

For the wiper control, rotate back and forth a few times to see if you can jiggle it free ... maybe give it a spray with the contact cleaner. Might just be a build up of moisture due to humidity or condensate.

Swap the left and right bulbs and see if the problem changes sides. If it does then it is the wrong bulb. I am also curious what the rear left blinker is doing while the front left is doing nothing.

thanx guys..
it turns out i go to my mechanic and the bulb was on the wrong way, i just had to rotate it 180 degrees and redo it and it worked..
a quick question on the fuses, if a fuse blows out, do all the functions of that particular fuse go or some of them?
because my wipers dont work on the intermission level anymroe, they go to the fast level, also my heat/ac panel has no light on at night inside with the headlights on

All the electrical items protected by that fuse will be out.
