I have a 2008 Equinox and the right front turn signal does not come on or work at all and the rear flashes really fast. I have replaced all the bulbs and switch. Still no luck. Can't find a flasher so I think it might be in a turn signal relay. Any help would be appreciated.

The signals will flash double time if it thinks a bulb is bad. Check the front signal and rear then check the bulb grounds here is a guide to help.

It is no power at the front socket, have traced wires back to fuse box. Power going in to fuse box but not coming. Out to that right front socket. Power everywhere else

Start at the fuse box and trace the wire to that socket. Go about 1 foot at a time to see where power is lost.

It sounds like you have a fuse, turn signal switch or a BCM that is out. Here is a guide and some wiring diagrams so you can do some quick checks for power to see where it losses it.

That is controlled by the BCM or the turn signal switch has failed. Be sure to check all fuses not just the ones for the light because if the BCM goes down the lights will not work.

Let me know what you find so it will help others.

Best, Ken
