Directional signal problem

[nwarky]

It's always something with a nearly 30 year old car. My Turbo Regal has developed a new quirk. Left turn signal works as normal. When I use the right turn signal both sides flash as though I engaged the hazard flasher button. Any ideas what has failed? Turn signal cam? Any ideas are appreciated of course.

Bad ground. Probably at the ground terminals near the battery

I think mine did the same exact thing some years ago... it was a bad ground at the light socket in the front bumper, passenger side....... You need to pull the bulbs and check the continuity to ground from the socket with an ohm meter, if available. As stated above, the common ground by the battery is another common problem. Seems mine was on the back side of the socket/plug area, wasn't a big deal to fix.
