Thanks

Hi Ed , Welcome to TGO !

If your turnsignals work fine on one side and don't blink on the other side the most likely suspect is that you have a bulb burned out on the side that isn't blinking . The blinker needs the current of at least two bulbs before it'll blink and with one bulb out there isn't enough current being drawn to activate the blinker .
