I've got this annoying problem.... my left turn signal works perfectly, both front and back, flashes properly etc. but my right signal is suffering from quite a few odd problems.

first off, if my headlights arent on, turning the right signal on makes every light flash, except for the rear left signal.

if park or headlights are on, then the rear right turn signal light just stays on. if i try to turn the signal on, i just get a single tick noise, followed by nothing.

what should I do?

ok, i will look at the wiring diagram right now. before i do i will say you have a short between your right turn signal and another illumination circuit. when the headlamp circuit is powered up the turn sig obeys it. when turn sig is powered up everything else does the turn sig dance.

you can trace the harness from the bulbs back by following the diagram. you want to keep an eye out for wires that have metal showing and stuff like that. really my first thought was a bulb with the little lead terminals melted together or something but you said you replaced them already.
