The right side turn signals aren't working... the front turn signal brightens up when I click the turn signal into the up position, but it just remains bright and doesn't blink. The rear turn signal doesn't do anything at all, though the parking light does work. When I use the Hazard lights, only the left side works.

I replaced the rear brake lights (on both sides) and it didn't fix the problem, I also removed both connectors at the brake switch to see if they were related to the turn signal, but there was no change. I'm thinking either a ground or wire is bad, or the flasher is gone... anybody know where I can get a good wire diagram with connector locations?
 
Now, I'm not sure exactly, but here goes. My son did the work. He also had a one sided turn signal issue. He saw 2 flasher relays hanging under the dash. One was longer than the other. With the signal on, he could feel the relay clicking. we changed it, it was the longer one, problem solved. AutoZone gave us the shorter one as the called out part. Not sure, but these cars might have a relay per side of the car. If you don't know, flasher relays are usually hanging under the dash, from 2 orange wires. About the size of a 2 or 3 dollar stack of quarters. In your case, if there is no clicking sound, because the light gets brighter, the relay might get hot to the touch with the signal on. Good luck :roll:

One flasher is for the directional, the other is for the hazard lights.

The problem sounds like a bad ground or grounds. It also could be bad bulb sockets.
