Turn signal issues

I am having issues with my turn signals. I turn the right one on and it flashes slow and the dash light doesn't come on. When I turned on the left it comes on, doesn't flash and the dash light doesn't come on. What could be causing this problem?

Re: Turn signal issues

If the bulbs are good,(that's where I'm sure your problem is)then move onto the Flashers.

Re: Turn signal issues

Would the bulb for the running light being out affect the turn signal?
