1960 Bugeye. The turn signals front and back all work. However, then switching the right side set on the indicator lamp flashes only once and then stops but the lamps are flashing
The left side works fine.
Anyone have any thoughts??
 
The indicator light needs a ground to operate. I think the factory thought it would be grounded through the dashboard.....but that can be hit or miss. I soldered a wire to the base of the indicator light to ensure a good ground.

No Plain Vanilla bulbs. The front fixtures are pretty new. The thing is that it is only when the right side is blinking.
 
The green dash indicator gets it's power from the P terminal on the flasher, if it's not a ground issue at the dash then the flasher could be going out. Mine had a life of it's own, working intermittently, when I verified the ground was good I changed the flasher and it worked fine.
