Default Right front Blinker stopped working?

My 2nd gen dodge ram front passenger blinker quit? I checked the bulb and cleaned the contacts amd nothing. I checked the Fuses they were OK. i replaced the Blinker Relay and still nothing I and just changed the Blinker Switch to no avail. Also it doesn't work when the Hazard Switch is turned on. All three of the other Blinkers work just fine. When I turn on the park lights it works? (SOLVED)

Two separate filaments for park lamps/turn signal. Common ground though, so, problem has to be on the power feed wire for the turn signal.

My left one did that a couple of years ago. It was a bad ground.

I checked the wiring and replaced the Socket? What Ground was it?

It's not the ground if the park works. Get a service manual from there: https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...e-manuals.html , and go to the section 8W for electrics. Then get multimeter and see if you have continuity on a blinker wire.

Though it can be bad ground, blinker draws more current than the park light, so the park light might be ok. But, you can find ground locations also from 8W.

Did replacing the bulb socket fix the issue?

I seem to remember splicing another ground wire into the one on the socket and grounding it to the body.

(SOLVED) It was the Top Relay in the side panel. The truck is a 98 Dodge Ram 1500 5.9 4x4.
