Hey I literally just today had the same problem, put a new bulb in the light was on but did not blink!!!! SUPER EASY SOLUTION, you simply have the bulb in too far. I gently pulled mine out a tiny bit and it started working fine... guarantee that's all that's happening to you!!!

has to be somwhere in the wiring for the tail lamp brk light. if the high mount works the switch is good. did you put the correct bulbs in? they may share a common ground independant of the other lights.

If you are looking at the light on top and on bottom you will see a little U shape in the light. it his held in by 2 screws. if you use a start screwdriver youll pull it right out. its an easy fix.

More than likely it's not all the bulbs that are burnt out. Your head lights work like a relay if one bulb is bad then none of them work. Try looking for the bad bulb (this will require you to pull the head light assembly a part to look at the bulbs) what you are looking for is blackening around the clear part of the bulb, also if you pull the bulb out of the socket and give it a bit of a shake does it make a rattling sound? If so then it's bad.
In regards to your left turn signal have you replaced the bulbs or check to see if they are burnt out as well? The also operate as a relay and will not work if one is burnt out.
You may be right about it being a switch. If you have the time, take the door panel off which can sometimes be a pain, **** worth it. Check to make sure the wires are still connected properly. If they are then i would look in and around the window tract to see if there is anything that could be impeding the window from going down. Other wise it could be a bad button system and just the drivers side button is shot. You may have to replace that. Hope this helps. Good luck.

2005 Pontiac Grand Prix GT. All blinkers work but the front driver side

You have a body control module problem, more then likely . The BCM turns the turn signal on an off. Have a scan tool hooked up (a profesional grade scan tool ) One that can read codes in the BCM.

Turn Signal Lamps
The STOP/TURN/HAZARD fuse in the instrument panel (I/P) fuse block supplies battery positive voltage to the body control module (BCM) for the turn signal lamps. When the turn switch is placed in the LEFT TURN or RIGHT TURN position, ground is applied from G202 through the turn switch, to the turn signal switch signal circuit and to the BCM. The BCM then applies battery positive voltage to front and rear turn signal lamps supply voltage circuits. The left front turn signal lamp is grounded at G100, right front at G101, left rear at G301 and the right rear is at G302.

Front passenger side turn signal is out. how do i get to the bulb to replace it? it seems to be inaccessible unless i take out the battery.

there should be a screw on the left and right side on the front of the light. if you unscrew them the light should pop out then you can get to the bulb in the back of the light.

Changing passenger side turn signal for 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix. There are a few bolts I could undo, but I'm afraid I'll break the car. The manual doesn't really give good directions, so...

There are two phillips head screws on the fog light/turn signal, unscrew them both and pull the unit out, the blinker connector is located on the back side... twist it out counter clockwise and blam! There's the bulb, slide a new one in, and make sure she works.

Check for head light (daytime)relay to be bad,this might have to do with the turn signals also,if the turn signals on this car,also have running lights in them,If this relay is not bad,replace the body control module.
