Check for adequate ground at either/both passenger front
and rear lights. Mother Mopar used the lite housing as ground-to-body, you may
get the symptoms you report if there is rust, corrosion, oxidation. Just fiddle
with the housing to car body mounting screws first...

Subject: [FWDLK] Turn Signal Flasher
Problem
Dear Members,
My '56 has an malfunction in the right
front turn signal. Looks like a low voltage problem because the light is
very dim when flashing. Also both the right and the left front signals
flash simultaneously when the right signals are engaged (as it it had
emergency flashers), and both are equally dim. However, when you move
the lever to the left turn position the left front lamp lights (as it is
supposed to), and with perfect brightness while the right one remains unlit,
as it is supposed to be. The rear lamps flash correctly on both sides.
Could it be something as simple as a defective flasher unit or should
I be looking for a wiring problem. I know next to nothing about
electrical systems. One of my future purchases will be a volt meter, but
I don't know how much function I need for automotive troubleshooting.
Any thoughts/recommendations would be appreciated.
