Lost right hand blinker
Just as the title says, my right hand blinker does not come on (front and rear) The right hand arrow on the dash turns green, but does not blink. Any help of where to begin looking?

blinker problem
i had the same problem turns out there was a short in the wire harness in the front nose panel got 1 for 20 bucks or so at local junkyard might not be your prob but usually if only one side acts funny and not the other its a bare wire somewhere and not a flasher or a steering column problem so i would start there and try turning on ur blinker and moving some wires around in the front end hope this helps

Check bulbs, then thermal blinker. If bulbs are good, chances are it's the blinker. Doesn't sound like a short because if that was the case, there would be a fuse blown and that would affect the entire turn signal system, not just one side.

Yes, forgot to mention that. Mine was having weird issues before I did a 5-prong relay style Hazard/Turn signal conversion. I swapped my thermal flashers and that seemed to help for a little while.

if only one side is not blinking on a 91 ,i would just switch the round flasher units on fuse box . You have 2 off them assuming the emergency flashers work i would turn them on and see which one ofvthe flashers is clicking and switch that one to the other spot in fuse box. If that cures the issue go get a new one and your done...

Yeah mine's a 92 and that was all I needed to do to fix mine. The blinker flasher relay on mine is the top cylinder shaped one on the fuse panel. The bottom one is the hazard. Probably the same for yours. They're only around $10 to replace. Good luck!

I modded mine (since I did custom LED lighting) using a 5-prong relay style hazard/turn signal combination flasher. It's not hard to do. I really need to do write-up on that....
