Default 1 bad turn signal, 3 working.

I replaced my socket because it was brittle, burnt and wore out. I thought that might be cause for my lack of right passenger front turn signal.

A new socket did not fix it, new socket lights up just fine, just no turn signal.

All my other signals work.

I can't seem to locate an FSM that isn't $$$$$$, does each signal have its own flasher module, if each side shares one, can a module operate one fine and not the other? It seems like if right front is out, so should right rear.

You say that all the other signals work. Does that include the emergency flashers? They use the same wiring from the switch to light as the turn signals. The turn signal flasher is before the turn signal switch, so if the problem was in the flasher, it would effect both sides. There are separate contacts in the switch for both sides of the turn signals. Does the dash indicator work for the right side? If it is, this should confirm that the contact for right turn signal is operating correctly. Have you checked the bulb filament with a continuity tester? Sometimes, they can be hard to see with the eye.

Sorry just checked the others to verify
all 3 other emergency flashers work, dash indicators both work. Right lights up, does not flash.

so these are dual filament bulbs then? Really need an fsm lol
