Default new here, probably dumb question

I have a 79 that I bought back in 1988. Its been stored since 1995 and after all these years in the dark I finally took it out and had it "refreshed" to be road worthy, and all is good. I went to get inspected for licensing and one issue.....front right blinker not working.
So .. left side front and back work, right side back works, running lights work, the clicking noise is happening when activated, just no blinker. I switched boots to eliminate that, changed bulbs....easy stuff. I have traced it as a dark blue wire in the harness that feeds this blinker and have gone back to the firewall to test power and there is nothing.
If someone on here can give me an idea of where to go from here I would greatly appreciate it....after all these years I cant wait to drive it around again and this frustrating little issue is stopping me.

Hello, this Help section is for Help with the CorvetteForum website (account issues, etc.,) and is not the place to post technical questions about Corvettes, or other questions not related to the website, as they will not be seen by other Corvette owners.

Instead, please find the correct section, based on the generation of the Corvette.


Go back to the main forum page:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/

Now start to slowly scroll down until you see your generation of Corvette listed. C3 (1968 - 1982):
C3 Technical: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...performance-3/

We encourage new members to take some time to browse around the site and read the Announcements and Stickies as they contain important and frequently asked information.

Thank-you
