Has anyone got any ideas on why my left indicator works fine but the right ones just light up and don,t flash ?
any help would be appreciated

Iwould check your flasher, then look for a bad bulb
seems like I had the same prob.. just can't remember all the details..

I second the bad bulb. If the flasher portion of the bulb is out it'll just glow solid.

Bad bulb or possibly bad wiring to the bulb. If the electrical circuit isn't sound your indicator light will stay on.

congrats - that's kinda hard to find (or at least it was for me...) - I think front park lamp housing grounds are a common problem on our trucks.
