Hi All, 72' Dart, things that work..4 ways, brake lights, head lights and left turn signal flashes. Right turn signal does not flash but the lights just come on steady. I changed the flasher once already, same result. I have a spare used harness and switch that I hooked up, no change. Any thoughts on where I could check next? Alternator puts out 14.3 and battery reads 12.6 with the car off.
Oh yeah, it's a hybrid.....it burns gas and tires!

things that work..4 ways, brake lights, head lights and left turn signal flashes. this tells you that from the connector behind the drivers kick panel that it is good downstream from there & also downstream forward past the firewall to the front lights including grounds cuz 4 ways & brake lights use the same large filament(s) in the 1157 bulbs. The TS flasher works both sides so it is OK. seperate the dangling ts/brake harness under the st column & ohm the col half for a start. try the stalk up/down & check continuities. this'll tell us if that assy is the problem.

I stand corrected: ground the metal case of the (2) front/rear pass side 1157 bulbs & see if this straightens things out. I think Stump nailed it.

agreed, I would see if the running lights (small filaments) come on on all 4 corners then see if the large filaments come on on the pass side with the stalk raised up. wouldn't hurt to have a helper work the stalk while you outside see if any of the filaments get dimmer when the TS are activated on that side.

Thanks, you guys nailed it, got everything working again. Checked all the bulbs, most seemed ok, replaced the two 1157's in the rear outers. The left one was a little punky to come out ad took me a few tries to seat the new one. The socket was a bit gacked,it looks like a bulb has been pushed in there incorrectly a few times. The only remaining symptom is everything on the right is a tad brighter than the left, flasher is a bit faster too.
