Turn signal problem

Hello to the forum, this is my first thread here . I've got this problem with my turn signal with my 84 trans am I recently bought. When I bought the car 5 months ago, all the turn signals worked, but a couple days later my front right turn signal stopped working Here's the issue: my front right turn signal is out (front, sidemarker, and right dash light). I have replaced the flasher, both sockets and bulbs to no avail.

- running lights all work ok
- turn signals in the other 3 corners of the car all work
- front right turn signal bulbs (front and side)
- right side dash indicator bulb also out
- hazards also dont work for the front right corner
- no power to the socket with turn signal on

I have looked at the wiring diagram and I can only really suspect the wire coming from the switch or the switch itself.
I need these to work because the car won't pass its safety inspection (bought it and stored over winter). Any advice helps!

Re: Turn signal problem

Ok looks like I've found the problem kinda. I took the panel out from under the steering wheel, and I guess as I was tugging wires around I fixed a loose connection and now it works. Who knows how well or long this will last, but at least its working in the meantime. Thanks for your input scooter. I'll check the grounds.
