Front and rear turn signal blinker out on 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier?

My wife’s 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier front and back driver’s side blinkers aren’t working. Her driver’s side rear blinker went out around a year ago and I replaced it and it worked. The front left has always worked

I know there is a recall on the back turn signals for her model car (which hasn’t been fixed), but was wondering if it was a fuse or something if it affected both?

Thanks!

I’m a junior in college and I use my dad’s car to get to and from school during breaks or holidays. I’m paying for school through students loans, so I will be in debt after school. So I was wondering how car loans work because I need a something big like a jeep or something, and I’m wondering if there is a such thing such as a student car loan. Something I can pay back after I graduate from college. I hope that don’t sound dumb but I don’t know anything about car loans.
responding to j s,

being a junior in college and not knowing about car loans doesn’t means I’m not ready for the real world. You might of had many people in your life while you were young to help you understand a lot things such as car loans, unfortunately I don’t have that in my life. So I must learn somewhere in learn, but thanks for the info. God Bless

This always comes to mind. If you can buy a car for $20K that gets around 35 miles per gallon, and you can buy a car for $30K that gets 40 miles per gallon, are you really doing the environment a favor? Basically, you have to drive back and forth to work to earn an extra $10K to buy that Hybrid? You have to earn at least 33% more to save 12%.

I am looking to get a used car and I want to finance it through my bank. How do car loans work? Do I need to find a car first or do I get the money from the bank first? What if I get a loan for 12k and I find a car that is 10k - do I need to give back the extra 2k?

Every used car has a “Blue Book” price, and depending on the wear/tear on the car, can have a low/medium/high value. How do they get this information?
