First, make sure the problem is not a burnt out bulb. Check to see that the wiring to and from the lights is in tact and not corroded. Check all of the car's fuses to make sure that one is not blown out. If none of these solutions work, a mechanic will have to perform a computer diagnostic.

The turn signal stem on the Pontiac Grand Am is very narrow, and often times, the wire will come loose. It's just a bad design. To fix it, you'll have to remove the stem and tighten the screw holding the "R" wire with a flathead screwdriver. It's probably about a 10 minute job.
