Sounds like a ground issue but it's not an easy task to find it. A test light and a lot of patience is needed for this one.

i know this sounds crazy but i had the same thing. the bulb was incorrectly in the socket. there are 2 pins, u can actually get the bulb in both ways, however u will notice 2 on either side of thr bulb, one higher one lower, try half turn.

Swap out the right and left side bulbs to double check that it is not a bulb problem. If not a bulb problem, check all fuses and relays, especially any that were installed in-line... while doing this make sure each connection is tight and has dielectric grease on it for weather proofing. These two steps correct 99% of turn signal problems... if still not working, it's time to bypass the wiring harness and run new wires... one of the wiring harness wires may have separated.
