I recently changed my right-rear taillight on my 95 grand prix, and ever since then my right turn signal doesnt blink. it turns on, but stays solid. i've been moving the lever up and down, but thats a real pain to do. does a turn signal legally have to blink or is it okay that it just stays on?

Yes it does and at a certain minimum - maximum rate to be legal too I think.
Unless your car dates prior 1954 it need indicators
If it doesn't "blink" you won't get an MOT and risk getting pulled by the fuzz. Sounds like you put the wrong bulb in.
:yeahthat: to the above two posts
Even before 1965 they have to flash at 60 - 120 per minute. After that date they must be amber front and rear but cars built before that date an have white to front and red to rear indicators.

Put the properly rated wattage bulb in and it should blink.... if not check there is no rust or crap in the bulb socket and make sure all the wires are connected firmly. its probably a bad earth connection, thats all.
