Default 4 ways with right turn signal?

Alright so I just finished traveling 1300 miles with no problems other then the truck feeling under powered which will be fixed later , until about an hour after I arrived in Vegas. I went to make a right turn, turned on my blinker and the green arrow just light up, no blinking. Made 3 lefts and everything works fine but right one still not working. With the headlights on, the blinker just lights up on the dash and nothing happens but if I turn my headlights off and hit the right turn signal, everything except for my headlights and reverse lights blink to include my dashboard. Haven't checked fuses yet because I just thought of those just now but think I could have blown a fuse or something?

Fixed the problem. For the first time something went wrong with the truck and I actually got to fix it. Feels kind of nice especially since I wasn't given any help on the problem. I blew my first fuse ever in a vehicle since I started driving 8 years ago. It's kind of making me want to just go ahead and replace all the fuses since they all could be original and go at any time seeing how the have 142k miles worth of use. I'll probably do that sometime later but right now I need to find a autozone, schucks, or napa to get a new fuse so I have backup lights again.

I was going to say a bulb or a fuse. Glad you figured it out quickly.

If you don't mind paying a little more, they make fuses with LEDs on the top of them that light up when they are blown. They are really handy to quickly ID the problem, rather than having to dig through piles of tools and assorted parts to find that tester you lost months ago.

Well I knew it wasn't a bulb from the start because I just installed my LED taillights a few days prior to this happening. So when it finally hit me to check the fuses, i did. But with little knowledge I have on fuses and what not, I checked them and it looked fine to me, looked the same as all the other 10's in the box. So I took the one from my reverse lights and stuck it in the turn signal and poof! it worked. So now I know you can base fuses on there looks and said screw it. When I went to buy a fuse, I just grabed a pack of 10's and replaced all of them that I could since I couldn't by a single fuse.
