Right-side signal lights no longer working on Vantage

Hi Folks,

Had this issue for a while and appears to be getting worse. Wondering if there's others who experienced the issue or have ideas on resolving.

For about 6 months the passenger flashers have been working intermittently. These are the flashers in the headlight and tail light. The side flasher on the front fender is not affected.

What will typically happen is the flashers will go off once, maybe twice, then stop. The turn signal on the dash still functions and sound is normal

Hazard lights also yield the same result. Driver side not affected.

Grand Touring in Toronto replaced the hazard switch in the dash as it was the most likely culprit but this has not fixed the issue, in fact it's degraded further. I can't get the passenger signal lights to stay on ever, no matter how many times I re-engage.

Someone has mentioned a ground or earth bolt at one point but haven't had that checked out.

Anyone else experience this issue? GTA isn't even returning my post-repair calls so I suspect they're clueless as well, beside being an official AM dealer.

There should be an intermittent relay switch that will require replacing.
I have not had to replace the one in my V12V, but every other vehicle I have had; with similar problems as yours, has required replacement of the intermittent relay.
Hope this helps!

I am very late to the thread, but did you discover what the issue was? I am currently having the same issue where the left front and rear indicators blink once then stop (for both indicating and hazard lights).

Just had my repaired head light by Code 114 in Houston Tx. My right front turn light gave up after most of last summer working intermittently. I have not reinstalled the head light because of the weather in central Illinois. It has a lifetime warranty. The owner if Frank and he is a great guy. He does more than swap a new circuit board. Turnaround time was less the three days excluding shipping and it was less than a grand when figuring in shipping.

Can confirm Frank is a good dude. For a while he was repairing tailights but unfortunately the guy they were using to do the tiny SMD's left so now they're headlights only, but he was great about it and really tried to help me. If i ever have a headlight issue I'm sending mine to him.
