'99 Regal Turn Signal Trouble

[buick67gs400]

Here's the problem.. right rear signal flashes really fast, right front has no signal at all, I replaced front bulb but still the same. Ocasisionally it does work. Left side no problem. Anyone good at this electical stuff? Is there a ground I can check or anything?

It does sound like a loose ground. You might want to trace the ground wire of the front bulb socket and see if it is loose. You can also attach a temporary new ground by running a wire from the ground side of the front bulb to a place where there is a clean metal and try your turn signal then. This has worked for me in the past with a similar problem.

One more thing, I forgot to tell you to make sure the contacts in the bulb socket are clean and are not pushed in. Also make sure there is no evidence of water in the socket.

Id say the socket. Clean it, put the turn signal on while your shaking the bulb around (vice versa sorry) if you see it start going on its your socket.
