blinker trouble

right blinker on dash green on when lights are on. right fender turning indicator doesnt come on. unpluged the front blinker by the headlight and fender light turned on
the hazards come on when right turn signal is activated. replaced the hazard flasher and blinker flasher, did nothing. i also have a new clock spring, didnt do anything
any input is appreciated
solved. for anyone that has the same issue. check that light bulb grounds are meeting in the socket. the 2057 bulbs i had (in the front bumber indicators) werent touching the bottom on the right side, what i did to test is held a screw driver touching side contact and bottom contact and the lights went on. the 1157 bulb i had did this even though its the incorrect bulb to my knowledge

Re: blinker trouble

Definitely a ground issue. Start by looking at all the grounds on the core support

Re: blinker trouble

It ain't low on blinker fluid is it?
