Default Help Me Troubleshoot My Blinker Problem...
Alright, randomly my right side blinker quite working, front and back.

Bulbs are verified good because the "emergency" flashers work both front and back which use the blinker side filament in the bulbs.

The two wires that plug in the right side blinker switch, the orange/white stripe one, when I checked it with a poker voltmeter. Fuses are all good. Do the switches go bad easily? How can I verify this real quick without tearing the blinker assembly to hell.

Thank you!

Ok, found out the issue. The button is broken where it twist the little gear to trigger the signal that flashes the lights.

Can anyone help me find a single chrome right blinker button? haha

Thanks
