    Directional Trouble

    JUST BOUGHT A 81 1100 SPECIAL, AND CAN'T GET THE RIGHT SIDE DIRECTIONALS WORKING. THE LEFT SIDES WORK, HAZARDS ALL WORK BUT RIGHT SIDE WILL DO NOTHING. I TRIED CHANGING THE FLASHER RELAY AND STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, WHEN I TURN ON THE LEFT SIDE I CAN FEEL THE RELAY VIBRATE BUT WHEN I TURN ON THE RIGHT SIDE THE RELAY DOES NOTHING.
    ANY SUGGESTIONS?

    Clean the ground connections front and rear on the right side.

    The bulbs are good, right?

        OK,

        The rear one is on a washer at the base of the stalk on the inside of the fender. The front one is on a washer at the base of the stalk inside the headlight shell

            THANKS, I GOT IT TO WORK, IT WAS IN THE SWITCH UNIT. WHEN I TRIED THE RIGHT SIDE IT WASN'T MAKING CONTACT TO TURN ON/OFF. I HAD TO BEND THE CONTACT ON THE INSIDE A LITTLE NOW SEEMS TO WORK FINE.
            THANKS AGAIN,
