Have a problem with my right turn signal in the grill. It works fine when the lights are off, but when the lights are on only the side marker and tail light blink. The one in the grill just stays solid. What could cause this? I plan on trying a spare headlight switch when I get home.
 
well have you messed with any wiring at all or done some good ramping that could of knocked something loose if not then its probably the switch or relay
sounds like you tryed to wire something because usally when you have the keys out of the ign and turn the blinkers on nothing happends intill you turn it to the run position
 
wireharness is a brand new custon one. Yes with the keys off I get nothing like it should, I was saying when I turned my lights on is when the turn signal would quit working. Blinker relay is brand new too, it works fine, just not went the lights are on.
 
Yep. Bad socket ground, I'd say. With the lights off, it grounds through the other filament but when you send power to both, it just stays lit.
 
Could be a bad socket, too. There's no other reason for one light to work wrong while the rest are working right.
 
Might have some crossed wires in that brand new "custon" harness.
