Default Electrical question(i think?)

I have a 1993 del sol si. A while back i was on the freeway and my passenger side corner lense fell out lol. The wiring harness thing was still there, and i bought some clear corners. The bulb works, as in it works when the headlights are on, but the signal wont work. Anyone know why it would turn on with the headlights but wont blink when i use the signal? Somone said i may need a new harness, but that someone is usually full of ----. Any ideas?

Why the hell would you need a new harness? Wasn't it working before?

Oh, also, when i use the turn signal the tail light blinks like a hyper blinker. Why would it do that?

it's probably not your ------- harness, check to see that the bulb has 2 filiments if it does then one might be blown, if it doesn't go get one that does.
