My passenger side front turn signal recently quit working. I replaced the bulb and its still not working. Does anyone think it could be the socket the bulb plugs into? What is that part even called? I tried to find it online with no luck. Thanks

So what's not working about it? Does it simply not flash? Or do the others not flash too? Do the others flash rapidly?

We'll need a bit more information to figure out what's going on. 8-)

Assuming there is one, check the fuse. I'm not sure about the Kizashi, but many cars have a fuse for each headlight and each turn signal. Definitely the case in older cars. I have not checked for the Kizashi.

The bulb does not flash and the signal indicator blinks rapidly. This only occurs with the front passenger side turn signal

Check the new bulb. It may be that the new bulb is defective. Check to see that the filament is intact.

I'm thinking the same thing--possibly a bad bulb or contact on the bulb.

Another test would be to swap the left and right signal bulbs. You know the left one works so this will give us a good test for both the bulb and the socket.

Look for wiring damage as well if you're poking around. Squirrels have been raising hell around here at work in the parking lot since winter started chewing through wires under vehicle hoods. Two were disabled and a third was on its way. I found mouse excrement along with a chewed and shorted wire while troubleshooting my failed heat pump outdoor unit 2 weeks ago. They all seem to enjoy the taste of MTW wire insulation.

Haven't been able to locate a fuse. I've looked through the entire owners manual

There might not be one. Just swap the bulbs and see if the other side stops working. Then you know you had a faulty replacement bulb.
