New guy, first question: Blinker
 
From the day I brought it home I've had issues with the right blinker. Flick the switch and the indicator on the dash stays solid green(most of the time even after signal is disengaged) The front signal either stays on solid when selected, or doesn't turn on at all, and the rear stays solid. Always works with hazards. And I'm stumped. All wires are good, no corrosion that I could find.

Ive got the same problem for well over a year now. Still cant figure out what is causing it. Thread subscribed.

i have the same problem. what fixes it is reaching under the dash and moving about all the wire mess and it works again for days or months until it stops again. wish I knew just which wire(s) cause it.

Get the bulb out and lightly sand or wire brush the contact areas and the bulb base. Then lightly clean inside the bulb socket.

Put a light coat of Vaseline on the bulb base and the socket. Put it back together and it should work.

You've probably got a bad ground in there due to corrosion.

If all of your indicators work when the hazards are turned on, it seems that your wiring, sockets, and bulbs are OK. I would be looking at the turn signal switch itself.

X2 on the turn signal switch or harness for it.

Good luck with it and let us know

flasher
 
If all the bulbs are good then check your flasher relay. Its under the dash on the left side. approximately behind the headlight switch. A small square box that just plugs in. Unfortunately there is no way to test it, just replace it, 18 bucks at autozone. Use the search feature here for detailed info.

As i read it, it will work when he switch it to left signal, that indicate that the relay is ok

Had the exact same problem and it WAS my socket.
