Default Turn signal issue

Hello oh wise ones. I have a 95 FLHTP and my left turn signal works fine but the right one doesn't flash and the rear one doesn't light up at all. It seems so specific but I changed out the light bulb and it didn't help. Any advice?

The right side signals are not flashing because the right rear signal is not working, insufficient amperage is being drawn to make the flasher module work.

It is time to get out your voltmeter, start at the socket and check for voltage, work your way forward to the connecter for the rear lighting harness.

If there is power to the connector for the rear harness, the problem may be a damaged wire underneath the rear fender.

Make sure no wires are pushed out of the connector.

Thanks. Does anybody have a link to a digital shop manual or can tell me where the flasher relay is on the bike?

The problem is not with the turn signal module, if it were, both signals would not work.

Stop guessing and suspecting the most expensive part and start tracing the problem.

You have the information you need.
