M35A2 Right front turn directional problem

[Machineman]

Hi,
I am having a problem with the right front turn directional not working. The other three corners are working fine. I tried swapping bulbs, checked connections etc. The marker light works fine on the light assembly so grounding there should not be an issue. I checked the voltage and found that it is low in that directional socket (6-8 volts), others are fine . What would be the cause for one socket to have lower voltage? Any help would be great.
Thanks

I just fixed that problem on my deuce and it was the wires going into the turn signal indicator. A couple frayed wires. Cut in some new wires and it works perfect now. Good luck and welcome to the madness.

Not correct, both bolts are used for grounds. One for the marker, one for the blinker.

Did you use the ground on the socket when you read low voltage? If so, try putting your lead on the other bulb socket and see if you read full voltage. If so, your ground is bad.

I use the plate that the sockets are attached (welded) to and the socket.
