Default turn signal wont work

My right front turn signal and flasher on right front wont blink. I replaced the bulb but there is no power to the bulb socket [tested it with a test light]. The rear signal on the right blinks but it is extremely fast. Any ideas appreciated...

Try pushing in and out your 4 way flasher about 10 times real fast and see if that helps, They are tied to the 4 way. If it then works you need the flasher mod.

You can go through the brake duct and clean or replace socket. I've had to do this on all the
c5s I've had.

I got it working!!! The new bulb I replaced the old one with was bad also. I just cleaned the socket and put an old bulb out of my old "97' in and all is O.K.! Now for a beer to help heal my skinned up arthritic hand! I normally wouldn't drink at 4:55 but it is medicine so its O.K.
Thanks for the help guys!
