Blinkers work, but right blinker is fast and no lights on RIGHT front turn signal, but I have blinkage in the other 3 corners. Blink speed is normal for left.

Changed bulbs. Still no luck.

This is what it looks like. I feel like a wire is missing.

I have the same problem. Its a short somewhere in the circuit. I cant find the short in my system. But im subscribed to this. Hopefully we can both get an answer.

i had crazy dumb stuff like this going on with the tails when i had an 89. never quite figured it out but i could wiggle the wires and make them work. they were just so old something always ground or shorted on something else. they never worked perfect until i got new tail assemblies. you could try a new flasher assembly...

im definitely going to invest in a soldering gun and just yank out assemblies and switches and maybe a whole harness from the yard and just try and learn some shit.

this a s13? if so possibly positive wire is cut somewer. did you try checking for power on where the bulb goes in? that would be the 1st thing i do. might be just bad connector on where the bulb goes on. pull out the connectors see if the wires are even on there...

goodluck

^^ you are on to something. I took out the bulb and one of the connectors broke off. Imma just yank a new assembly from the yard.

wiggle the new bulb in and keep your lights on. sometimes the plugs are dirty and require some wiggle lol! btw, solder it up and make sure its not loose anywhere else.

my use to turn on only with parking light, i replace the bulb and it as good.

Suppose to be three wires to the turn signal bulb. Ground, Signal, and Positive. The bulbs are dual filament.

the bulb gets light as it turns on with parking/head lights. i just cant get blink action. so i dont think it is a bad connector. i think im missin a whole fuckin wire. or its hiding somewhere behind my bumper.
