Turn signal issues. Any ideas?

[Dio77]

So I’ve been having some right turn signal issues. Left works fine the right doesn’t. I’m thinking relay?? Need somebody with a bit more knowledge for some advice so I’m not just tossing parts at it. I tried to attach a video but I didn’t let me. Thanks for the help

Check the ground on the right side.

When I switch to the right side it keeps clicking but no signal

Solder joints breaking loose inside the handle bar switch is a thing. I'd check them first.

If one side blinks, then the relay/flasher is fine. I had the very same issue with the turn signals on my '79, the left side would occasionally blink, then stop and the right side wouldn't blink at all. The problem turned out to be the wires inside the handlebar switch had become unsoldered. Apparently this is a known issue with these bikes.

Check the switch, power in should be line voltage (around 11.5-11.8 VDC) and power out on each side should be the same. I disassembled the switch and soldered the the wires.

You’re the second one that has suggested that. Think that’s where I’ll start. Thanks

I once had a ground wire failure on a rear signal. It went open circuit between the signal stalk and the ground.
