Default Blinking turn signal....

Right front turn signal will not continue to function properly. Not the bulb - it has been replaced. Open up the fascia and loosen the bulb and socket- then light is not on and the turn signal clicks very fast. Take bulb out-replace it with some electrical goo - it works. Go down the road for a couple of days and then it stops working again.
Is it the socket? Do I just "snip" the wires and get a new socket at the dealership? Thanks.

Sure sounds like you isolated it to the socket. Try cycling the hazard switch too.
