multi function switch

We have purchased a 2008 Limited Roadster. The right turn signal work intermittently.
Replaced fuse, flasher is common to left and right, right front and rear bulbs are good.
suggestions?

Re: multi function switch

try swapping the bulb holders from left to right.
these are notorious for intermittent connections.

Re: multi function switch

"The right turn signal work intermittently". That does not tell us enough.

Does it not blink? Does it blink fast? Does it not light up at all? Does it light but not blink at all?

Our answers depend on yours.

Test for power at the contacts when they are not working if possible.
Make sure the contact is not burnt and just lightly touching the bulb.
Bend the contact so that it hits the bulb harder, clean the contact as well.

Re: multi function switch

My front right turn signal didn't work for about 8 months and I finally just fixed it by bending the electrical/contact tabs up so they had better contact (the tabs in the headlight, not the bulb holder)
