Default Rear Turn Signal lite but does not flash

So my rear turn signal light no longer flashes when I am changing lanes. I just figured that the bulb burnt out but the bulb is still good. Does anyone know what I need to replace in order to get this working again. Is this the turn signal relay and, if so, where is it located and where can I get a replacement part?

Welcome to the forum. Neither side flashes? Do the hazards work? What year and trim level is your Equinox?

You probably have gotten this fixed by now, but I thought I would post for others looking into this.

Are you sure about it not being the bulb? Some bulbs may have one or two filaments. In two filament lamps, the smaller of the two is for the tail lights and the larger is for brake lights, turn signals or a combination of both. The steady light you are still getting from the bulb is most likely separate from the flashing of the bulb. Good luck!!

Default Im having a similar issue

ive looked a lot into this but my main problem is that my left 2 blinker lights are not working. The right side are though and every other light for that matter, just not the left 2 blinkers.

ive checked fuses, bulbs, tested some wires behind connectors, checked like 3 grounds. Help!!

What year is your Equinox?

Besides any fuses, there may also be a turn signal relay. Sometimes, it is located in/near the fuse box, but not always. Did you perhaps check/replace that? You also mentioned that you tested some wires. What did you conclude (i.e. - was there any power going to these wires when there was supposed to be)? And does the left side work at all when you turn on your hazard lights?
