the right turn signal will not blink, if I move the turn signal lever in the cab it will flash. If I have the headlights on
the indicator light on the dash will stay on (no blinking) unless I move the turn signal lever. I have replaced the bulb but still does not work. Is this a short in the system and if so how do I check it?

it could be a couple of things. Check to make sure you have a good ground at the parking light it be the black wire. then also check the ground for t/s switch it may be around the steering column it will be a black wire as well. you'll see it. If it still does it you wil probably have to replace the switch
