blinker not blinking issue
I have a couple issues with the electrical but this one is most important right now.
Left turn signal works normal. Right side turn signal doesn't blink, just lights up and stays on until the blink lever is turned off. The relay / switch under the dash makes the clicking noise when signaling left, no sound signaling right. Could the signal relay / switch be bad?
Both front and rear light stay on. As far as I know there are no burned out bulbs.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

Check the socket. They get cruddy. And go bad.
I had your problem. Turned out to be the socket. I replaced it. Yo can get em at any brick and mortar auto parts store.
But maybe just needs cleaned out.

I agree. Mine was also the socket. The ground strap corroded off. It was still lighting up but the front amber was a little dimmer and the rear was fine. Easy enough to check. I accidentally discovered it when I was probing the socket with the bulb in and completed the circuit with my probe...

I have a friend that walked me through electrical troubleshooting and he believes I have a bad turn signal switch. All the electrical seems to be working good. now it is time to order some parts and a steering wheel puller.

I highly doubt that's causing your problem.
But good luck with it...

You have either a bad bulb or bad connection to it. Start testing and wiggling them
