Default Turn signal relay?

I have an issue with my 1982 Corvette. The drivers side rear signal is not working, and neither is the passenger side front signal. The remaining signals work fine.

After studying the wiring diagram I think the problem may be the turn signal relay.

My question is:

1) Will a relay that needs replacing still cause some of the other signals to work? Or will they all stop working if the relay is bad.

2) The relay is located under the dash, drivers side?

If the front left and right rear bulbs are functioning properly it is not the flasher/relay. Check the bulbs, rear lights use the same filament of the bulb for brake and turn, do the brake lights work on both sides? If not the bulbs you will need a meter to track down the issue.

Found the problem with the rear tail light. Pulled out the bulb holder, was a wire disconnected. Works now. Not sure about the front light, but suspect something similar.

Yes...your front light not working is more than likely a bad or no ground to the light bulb scenario.

And I am not aware of a 'turn signal relay'...I DO know about the turn signal flasher...but I ahve NEVER seen a relay for the turn signals..

Your right it's a signal flasher not a relay. Damn noobs.

I found my problem it was the light bulb receptacle itself needed replacing.

All lights are working now...
