Default Right blinker not working

The left blinker works fine. The right blinker just lights up but does not blink. Checked the bulbs and they all seem ok. Are there two separate flashers? It is a 75 if that matters.

There is one flasher for the turn signals and another for the emergency flashers. The problem you describe is usually a burt out bulb or bad ground, but sometimes the flasher itself will do that. Take the flasher from the fuse panel and switch it with the turn signal flasher as a quick check.

This is strange. I know I replied to this post but its not here. oh well .. Ill try again. on the 75 the front side marker lights flash intermitantly with the front turn signal bulbs. Maybe the right front side marker is out. maybe that could cause the problem. The 4 way flashers or AKA emergency flashers basicall run thru the same circuts as the turn signals but do have thier own flasher. Turn the 4 ways on and have a walk around the car to make sure all the bulbs, including the front side markers are flashing. If you left signal works then I wouldnt think the flasher for the turn signals is bad.

I figured it out. The right tailight socket had a loose ground wire. It works great now. Thanks for the responses.
