Right side directional won't blink. I changed both the front and rear bulbs. I also checked the bulbs with an ohm meter to verify that they are good. Had no luck getting directional to blink and then it got too dark to continue. Any suggestions? I want to take a fresh look at it tomorrow. Thanks
 






I would check your fuses or check to see if you have a cut positive wire to the front or rear turnsignals or in between. Did you have this problem for a long time or just happened? If it just happened then I would look at your fuse panel and identify the fuse to the brake and turn signal.
 






I just read the manual and this is what it says:

When the flasher relay is functioning properly, an audible click can be heard during its operation. If the turn signals fail to operate on one side or the other and the flasher relay does not make its characteristic clicking sound, a faulty turn signal bulb is indicated.
If both turn signals fail to blink, the problem may be due to a blown fuse, a faulty flasher relay, a defective switch or a bad connection. If a quick check of the fuse box indicates that the turn signal fuse has blown, check the wiring for a short before installing a new fuse. Good luck!
