You need to be more specific on what kind of car. Most commonly a bulb holder gets burnt contacts and cleaning with steels wool or scraping with a sharp object will help but is usually just a temporay fix. Common mistakes are improper bulbs or installed backwards. Alot of cars have a poor ground wire issue.

What is wrong with your directionals if the green light on the dash stays on and does not blink?
Check the following...........turn signal bulbs front and rear, and brake lights, probably a burned out bulb or a bad connection due to corrosion in the bulb socket, finally check the turn signal flasher, under the dashboard, if the bulbs turn out to be OK. To control corrosion in bulb sockets use a di-electric grease that seals the socket to bulb connection and repells water.

Bad connectors, and moisture. The caps must be on all ports on the headlight assembly. use connection grease on the bulb connection. replace with a new one from GM. other wise clean the terminals and replace with a new bulb. this works for a while but you will have to replace with a new connector socket.
