RF blinker won't blink

[nuclearbeef]

Left blinkers work normally.
Turning the right blinker on gets one click then the rear light and dash indicator remain illuminated. Front not lit.
Hazard switch on causes three blinkers to blink, but not the RF.
RF bulb is good. RF ground is good (has separate ground wire, ohms out good).
With the R blinker on, (no clicking; rear illuminated continuously) RF bulb socket shows constant 6.5v.
With hazard on socket cycles between 0 & 6.5v.

I forgot to check continuance between hot in bulb socket and ground for a short.

I know there are a lot of you who have trouble-shot blinkers. You think its a short in the hot wire to the RF blinker or a bad blinker switch? Something else?

I hate chasing electricals. Any help pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

JW

If it's only getting 6.5 volts to the socket that would be your problem. There is a voltage drop on that. Needs to have 12 volts there.

Symptoms point to wiring somewhere after the flasher on the way to the RF light itself. If it was the switch it would affect other lights.

try to jump with a temporary line from the flasher to the bulb . If it works, it is the wire.

Thanks!

I'll report back after I get it tracked down.
