Default somebody please help..

I am still trying to fix my car my passenger turn signal will not blink at all. My drivers side does blink that rules out hte flasher, i have also already put in new bulb and socket so that cannot be the problem.
A couple of things are going on that are weird, when i turn on my headlights my blinker idicator for my passengers side comes on but still does not blink. I dont know what it is anymore i hope one of you guys can help and thanks in advanced.

Did you wire the new socket on right....

Also, did you replace both front and rear bulbs on the passengers side...either one being out kills that side and leaves the indicator on.

easy...take a piece of wire and hold one side to a bare metal piece of the car and the other end to the ground of the socket. (and no this wont shock you) If the light comes on then the ground at the socket is bad.

test all your pins at the connector with it turn on to flashing, if your not getting power ohm the circuit to mnake sure its all plugged in good or not broken. i had the problem with my 95 Z and all it was was corrosion in the rear bulb sockets from m oisture since the lens wasnt sealed. I cleaned it with electrical contact cleaner, and battery cleaner and used a smal wire brush, packed it with dielectric grrease and a new bulb and it was good. probably something simple and cheap
