Indicator on the blink

[unzen]

Question from a dumb Yank in Japan with British Beauty (Chim that is...)..

Recently, the right rear indicator stopped flashing. Front right, front left, rear left all okay. Removed left and right bulb holders and switched bulbs: bulbs okay. Performed circuit test with voltmeter and current is flowing to the connector. Cleaned connector and still no current flows to the bulb. Checked fuses and they are okay. What am I missing (besides a few brain cells)?

The 12 Volt supply needs an earth to illuminate the bulb(s). Check that earth is earth with Ohm-meter. (use the fuel tank as a reference earth) Do the rest of the lamps on the same side work ??

Thanks for the tip. And, yes, the other lamps (brake and light) on the same side work fine. Just the indicator lamp is not working.

Aren't they supposed to blink?
Only joking - bound to be an earth issue.

Problem solved: turned out to be a poor connector on the wiring harness. The connector is located behind the left door, along with a bunch of other wiring. This connector is white and black, in case you want to fiddle with it. All it took was some cleaning and it's good as new (not sure how good that is, actually).
