Front Right Turn Signal

My 95 maxima gle right turn signal flashing light inside the bumper has stopped working. I changed the bulb and it still wont work.. also the light on the right side of the headlight that switches on when u indicate a turn does not work as well .. i have changed bulbs but nothing is happening ... the rear indicator is flashing but at a faster than normal rate ... may be some wiring is short .. would anyone know how to fix this .. pls need help .. need this car for a driving test and they would not allow it to be used because of this proble... would highly appreciate the quick response as always ...

the only fuse i saw is for both sides .. the left turn signal is working fine .. also the rear right signal is working .. the problem is only with the front right side ... is there a relay/fuse that is only associated with the front right? where is it located .. what wire do i need to check

Maybe check the wires that are connected to the bulb.

Check your blinker fluid


Check for frayed wire ends, also check all relays/fuses...

Get a wiring diagram for the car (FSM/Haynes) And study it good ...

It's most likely the harness that holds the bulb. I had the same problem. The connections had just worn out and would not give the bulb power. It would be best if you had a multi-meter to use. I used the multi-meter to find out it was getting 12Volts right outside the harness, but inside it was only get about 3Volts. I took the harness apart and resoldered the connections because it was about 3AM and no store was open. You could just go buy one cheap though from an auto parts store though.

BTW, your other turn signal is flashing fast because it is designed to do that to let you know a bulb is out, so that's not a problem.

Hope this helps, ask if you have any more questions.
