Last night I used the flashers in my '95 for the first time, but they were not working properly. The front right flasher does not flash and neither does the ">" on the instrument cluster, but the front left and both rear ones do. The turn signals work fine, just when the flashers are on does it malfunction. I did a search and didn't find anything close to my problem. I'm guessing flasher relay? Any other ideas would be helpful!

push & release the emergency flasher button multiple times. That button is rarely used & contacts get corroded leading to issues.

Will do, I will probably also spray it with some electrical cleaner too! Thanks for the help!

That's what I woulda thought, but it apparently works for the regular blinkers, so that wouldn't be it.

Yeah, it works just fine for the blinkers, only when I try and use the flashers does the right side not work.

that's alway like that. If you use flashers, I think different relay works and it doesn't have to be close circuit, but for flashers, you have to have at least 2 working bulbs on each side to work.

All of my bulbs are fine, I checked that. I might just replace the flasher relay and see what happens. I get to tackle the alternator first thing tomorrow.

try putting socket from one side to another just to see if that's a problem.
