The right turn signal indicator on my dash is constantly on(solid, not blinking)

My left signal works fine

The right signal does not work, yet the indicator is still on.

The hazards work fine, and the indicators on the dash blink as they should

Thoughts?

You possibly have a problem with the wiring from the turn flasher to the right side bulbs only
Hazards are operated from a separate flasher can.

Burned out bulb on the right hand side of the car.

or a corroded socket on right side.

coming from a corvette tech, locate the signal flasher,you will here it clicking when flashing left but not right. Replace it all should work.

John.87

Nope, all the bulbs are functional.



Where is the right side signal flashed located on a 1988?

Bad ground at the right front. Possible bare wire in the steering column harness. One of these. Ive had both in the last 15 years or so.

where exactly would I look for these issues? (when I look at random wires I tend to go cross-eyed)

JackDidley

Check the ground wire in the light bulb socket. Wiggle it around. When the wire was bad in the column, I could tilt the wheel up and down to make it work.

John.87

OK, will do.

If it is wire related, would I still hear the clicking sound coming from the flasher? Because there is no sound coming from it.

I actually had this same problem on another car that I had bought. Had the problem when I drove it home. Turned out to be the wrong bulb had been installed in the socket. An incorrectly installed bulb will cause the same thing, but if the bulbs haven't been tampered with when the problem started, then I'd bet my mortgage its a bad ground / corroded socket. Be sure to check the side markers, too.

the flasher should be right side of dash, you will here it click with the left signal on. One flasher for both sides, if you had a bad ground your bulbs would not work.

This can be caused by two bulb filaments touching inside the bulb.

I just had this problem last month. It was the ground wire contact where it plugs into the socket. I wiggled it around and it started working. The contact on the end of the wire is bent to provide pressure against the contacts inside the socket. Mine had broke in half. I bought a new socket at Pep Boys for about $10 and cut off the old one and wired in the new one. Problem solved! 30 minute fix. Hope this helps.

thanks for the help guys, it was a bad ground in the front right turn signal socket. A wiggle solved the problem, and will be replaced. Thanks again
