non-working right rear turn signal on 1998 camaro
My right rear turn signal has stopped working. I checked the voltage and see it is getting 10v DC. When I check the voltage on my working left rear turn signal, I get 15v DC. I also took the light from the left rear and put it into the right rear socket and it doesn't work. Is the low voltage indicative of a bad flasher unit under the dash?

Your problem could be wiring, the socket, or the turn signal switch. (The flasher is shared across both sides.)
If the voltage is low, there won't be enough current flowing through the bulb filaments to operate the stock thermal flasher. An electronic flasher might get things to work - but you'll still have a problem and your bulbs will be dim.

Typically a flasher failure would result in neither side working on the vehicle.
My wife trans am is always fouling the front sockets, and frying the flasher. The cluster just illuminates the signal and doesn't flash, or doesn't illuminate at all
To verify if it is the flasher you can turn the hazards on. If the lights work with the emergency hazards on, but don't work with the turn signal you know it's just the turn signal flasher.
Most likely it's a loose wire on the socket for the turn signal. Try to push the wires into the socket with that turn signal on and see if it works, wiggle the wires with the flasher on and see if it starts to work
