RH Blinker won’t blink with headlights on

1969 c10 I’ve seen some variations of this question on here but never the same with a solution..
blinkers all work fine with lights off, with lights in the driver side works but passenger doesn’t. Back all work fine with way.

I have applied a ground wire from each sides housing to the frame, and made better grounds from firewall to engine as what I had was pretty chewed up. The lights got brighter for sure but the problem remained

Is there another ground I should check/replace?

Is there a ground from engine to chassis? As I’m thinking about it now I don’t think I did that when I put an engine in this summer

I swapped to auto trans so I have an auto column out of another 69 (I think) but the wiring was different I had to get a straight to moon adapter

What would you check next?

Maybe put a temporary ground to the column and see if that's it.

Re: RH Blinker won’t blink with headlights on

I would pull the lens off the signal and run a jumper from the negative on the battery and touch the other end to the bulb base and see if it the signal starts to work properly. If so then you know it is a grounding problem. If that makes no difference my next step would be installing a new bulb.
Good Luck neighbor!

Re: RH Blinker won’t blink with headlights on

It’s the aftermarket socket I’m using! I pulled the oem off and switched sides to see and that was it.. now to find the right socket...

Thanks everyone!

Leave a comment in the future if you have this problem and new socket fixed it!

Actually after all that, I had the wires crossed in the socket... everything works!

Re: RH Blinker won’t blink with headlights on

Stupid question, did you check the bulb. It's a 1157 double element. I've had one burn out and lay across the other one.
