I have been having a problem with my turning light on the right side of my truck. When it is dark enough for the automatic headlights to come my arrow indicator comes on and stays on but will not blink when I am making a right hand turn, and, the outside lights for the turning lights stay on but will not blink. Some one told me it was a broken ground but I wouldn't know where to start to check it. I can't afford to go and have it looked at at this moment. Is there somewhere I can start to fix the problem, Yes, I am a woman but I can learn to do most anything! Just need some A-1 assistance. Thank you.

It does sound like it could be a ground. There are body grounds on the car. They look like steel straps that connect in places like under the hood, the dashboard. Check to see if you see anything like that which is disconnected. As far as the signals, make sure the turn signal flasher is good.
