Easy elec question

[JFENG]

Symptom:
(1) emergency flasher doesn't work. Lit at night but when you activate it, nothing blinks, flasher button light goes out.
(2) When I activate the right turn lever
(2a) front right turn lamp doesn't blink
(2b) the right front parking light is okay
(2c) blinker indicator light in the dash doesn't blink.
(2d) however right rear turn lamp blinks fine.

All fuses seem okay. flasher can is working (both rear turns blink, front left turn blinks).

What do y'all think it is?

Possibly faulty flasher relay???

THen why do 3 of the 4 turn signal light blink?

Possibly faulty flasher relay???

That's what I thought. Is there a separate relay for the hazard switch? I thought it just used the turn signal relay but rounded both sides thru.

The relay controls both hazard and turn signal operations.

Burned signal out bulb filament.
Faulty flasher relay
Faulty hazard switch
Hazard switch not plugged in all the way at the back of the switch
Bad ground

The flasher is the one component that you have successfully tested. If any of the bulbs flash, the flasher is OK.

The other four items on adawil2002's list are good suspects. Start with the easy stuff . Are you sure you have a good bulb in the RF position? If yes, do you have 12 volts at the RF socket with turn signal switch set to the right and the bulb out? If yes, is the RF socket properly grounded?

If none of the above tests suggest a problem then I'm a little puzzled. You may have two problems: The RF light and the emergency flasher switch. I'd concentrate on getting the turn signals working first.
