Right Blinker Sticking on '81
Hey guys, I'm new to doing maintenance myself on my '81 vette. Right now, my right blinker is sticking. The bulb works on the dash, but it stays lit and doesn't blink.
I did a walk around of the car, the left blinker works great on the front left, left-side, and left rear. When I switch it to the right blinker, I get no lights on the front right, right-side, and right rear. When I turn on the hazards, the left blinkers blink, and the front right and right side blinker blink, but not the rear blinker.
Does anybody know what's happening? My assumption is there is a bad relay.

The hazard relay and the blinker relays are separate. On my 69 one is on the fuse block and the other is just under the passenger side dash in a bracket. From what you described I might start with the hazards and check out that right rear socket & bulb

change the bulbs, odds are you have a broken filament that is intermitantly connecting, the flasher is a possibility but I cant ever recall one that went bad unles there was serious electrical short in the system. even if the bulb looks good doesn't mean the filament isn't broken inside.
