Default Blinker Issues

i just bought a 93 camaro z28 and the thing was in great condition except for the blinkers. i figured i could fix it no problem but after looking all through the car i cant seem to figure out where the issue is. heres the situation. the left blinkers work great but the right ones dont want to. when i turn on the right blinker i get a light in the back but nothing in the front or on the dash and the one that does turn on is solid. i checked the fuse the blinker relay the bulbs and the wiring. i am going nuts trying to figure out what is wrong with it and i dont want to take it in and spend a few hundred to get it fixed. has anybody ever heard of this situation?

are you sure the bulb is good? get the test light/volt meter out and see if your getting juice to the wiring harness at the light fixture.

the light is brand new and the only power going to the harness is the running lights and all of them work. i followed the wires back as far as i could and i still couldnt find power

They aren't spliced anywhere are they?

The former owner of my car, did a 'bubba' job trying to re-wire the turn signal, and he hooked the wires up completely wrong. So the turn signal would work during the day (without the headlights on) but at night, nothing. Something about the turn signal reversing polarity between the those two bulbs in the side marker housing. After some testing with my voltometer, and looking at those exact same diagrams crabby posted, I got it patched up right

You gotta figure it this way, if the fuses are good, and the turn signal switch works, it is something down there. So just use the wiring diagram, and trace it back.
