96 turn signal
I am very confused right now. When I turn my left turn signal on all the lights work, when I turn my right turn signal on sometimes only the tail light will flash while the dash light and front light do not. Then there are times where all the lights work. Has anybody else had this problem and what did u have to do to fix it. Any help is greatly welcomed. Thank you for looking at this.

Not an uncommon issue, happens on any vehicle. It can be a simple bulb or most likely a ground circuit. To determine which, try this. Turn on the 4 way flashers (emergency flashers). Look and see what is working and not working. Probably the RR is erratic in operation and RF and inside indicator work normally. Your ground at the RR bulb is corroded, either at the grounding stud or at the bulb connection itself. Its not rocket science, its harder, its electrical (just kidding).

Most likely its still a ground issue. You need a jumper cable or wire to connect into the circuit to resolve. Go to lights that are not on and connect the jumper wire. What happens is, power goes to the different bulbs, if there is no ground for that bulb, it backfeeds to find a good ground. Electricity follows the path of least resistance, its like your zipper, if its not open, you pee in your pants. If your zipper is open or resistance is good (low), everybody is happy and your pants are dry.
