Rear Turn Signal not workring
Working on a 07 Nomad.
All light work except the right rear turn signal. Its not the bulb. Tried a new one, does not work. Switched the left one which works to the right, does not work. Any thoughts? Txs for your help.

Get your tester, turn on key, then blinker, pull off seat. See if you have power to the socket. If not, start tracing the wire back. Sometimes, its where the wire is soldered into the socket, sometimes its the wire chaffed under the fender strut. Often times, loose connection under seat....just keep following the line back, till you find it and correct it....
More times than not its a dirty or loose connection....remember, check the ground wire too, or return.... Alot of times its just corrosion on a plug or wire. When you find where its blinking, just start probing back toward the signal lamp. While your probing, wiggle the wire some....I use a clamp on mirror on the fender to easily see when the rear signal light comes alive....It also could be a pinched wire.

maybe it's not the right bulb, is it a ground wire? sometimes the grounds get corroded and lose contact with bare metal

A while back, I was having a problem with my left front turn signal working erratically. Bought new bulbs (called switchbacks), and when I removed the old bulb, I found that the turn hot wire to the socket was loose. My wires fit to the socket with wire ring terminals, just tightened up the screws and they work fine now.
As DL said, get your volt meter, start at the socket, and work your way back till you find where you lost your power at. And make sure your ground has good continuity.
