Lucas turn signal question

The right turn signal on my '74 Midget has quit blinking. The front and back right-hand bulbs work fine, and the left blinker works fine. The right blinker just won't blink.

After some other strange electrical goings-on, I changed out the fuse box and cleaned connections, and this cleared up most problems. Both blinkers worked fine until this week.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
 
Give us more info.
Does the indicator on the dash come on?
Do the bulbs light but not blink?
Do your hazard lights work oK?
 
Indicator on dash does come on.
Yes, bulbs light but do not blink.
I will have to confirm, but I do believe that the hazard lights work.

Thanks!
 
If both bulbs light but do not blink, then I'm perplexed at the moment. Let me think about this. There is only one flasher for the turn signals. Are you sure you have the correct size bulbs? If they are not pulling enough current, then the flasher won't trip. Still thinking...
 
try swapping out one set of bulbs, left to right. also are the bulbs all the same brightness? if not check the grounds on the dimmest one. behind the drivers side headlight inside the engine bay is a mass of connectors. the black wires are the grounds.
