Turn signal problems

[AlexFolino]

I have a 1986 m1008 CUCV. Truck has turn signals on the driver side front to back however on the RIGHT side i have no marker or front turn signal light, i do have the rear reverse and brake light but no turn signal. Basically turn signals are inop on the passenger side. I changed all the bulbs originally with no luck. When i turn the switch to the right it does not click but when you turn left it does. Before i pull the wires out could it be a flasher? I did clean all the grounds that i found on this truck but no luck so far..

Try another flasher. Check the grounds again. Also, check the sockets themselves. I found a crack in one of the contacts within one of the bulb sockets. Caused all kinds of issues. Replaced and no more problems. Photo below explains.

agree with above bad ground more than likely

i had one that did that, its your turn signal lever on the steering wheel. If i read your post correctly it clicks into place on a left turn but doesnt click into place on a right turn. The reason you arent getting the clicking on a right turn is the signal isnt traveling from the signal lever in the first place. its stopping at the steering column. If you are concerned about the grounds get your test light and start checking circuits for a break in the circuit.

sounds like the turn signal switch is bad and the plastic arm for the right side broke off

If I read you question correctly the problem will be in the turn signal switch It click's when you turn on the left signal but not when you turn on the right .

investigated more and found out the right front turn signal does work, black wire going to the socket was bad. Replaced it and have front turn signals but no rear right turn signal.
