Front turn signals

My 1981 C10 front right turn signal is not working. I changed the bulb in the bumper. Now the parking light comes on but does not blink. The fender light comes on and blinks, but the bumper light does not. Any ideas?
Looking at the wiring diagram the blue wire and the brown wires on the fender light and the bumper light are teed together. I'm thinking I have an open in the wiring before this junction. Any ideas where this junction is in the harness?

Re: Front turn signals

With the fender light blinking the wiring should be good. Sounds like you still have a bad bulb or bad socket.

Re: Front turn signals

Swapped the bulbs from left to right, worked on left side. Bulb is good. Just no power to that connector. I think I may have a break in the harness.

Re: Front turn signals

You're getting power through the wires or the fender light wouldn't blink. That's how it makes the fender light blink, power for the front blinker overrides ground to the fender light turning it off. When the fender light blinks, is off, both wires are power.
