What happens when using hazards?
Single flasher system?
When you say right one do you mean right side or one of multipel bulbs on the right side stays on.

One thing that you can do to check for a bad switch is to switch the green and yellow wires on the plug about half way down the steering column. This will cause each side to use the opposite side of the TS switch.

ahh ok ..not too far im near kankakee..
i checked the socket with a test light and have power to one side just like all the other but no matter how many bulbs i put in there none of them work..can pull one from other side that works put it in pass side and nothing..very strange..

reverse your test light and go from battery + to the ground on the socket and see what happens.
