Does the brake light work on that side?
Does it work on that side with the hazard flashers on?
You say the front one works...does that mean it "blinks", or just comes on?
I can send ya the wiring diagram, if ya want. It would be this eve. before I can e-mail it to you, tho...

Looks like the turn sigs work off of two fuses, thru the hazard switch, to the t-sig switch on the column, and then out to the bulbs. The right side wires are all green w/red stripe....if that helps. Doesn't look like the hazard switch would cause this problem, so it's down to the t-sig switch, or the wiring...

OH S

I just noticed it is a convertible!!


The diagrams, and in fact the whole systems are different!! The vert diagram shows a "Combined Rear Lighting Module"(left rear quarter panel) that the coupe doesn't have....dang! That changes everything...
I'll e-mail ya the correct diagram...it will help trace the problem.

I'll look the diagram over a little more, and see if I can help point ya in a specific direction. Seems like there is most likely an issue either with the module, or the wiring between the mod and the light socket. I wonder if ya take the terminal for the pass side turn out of the connector at the module, and shoot it with 12v if the turn sig bulb will light. That would tell ya the wiring is good, at least...
Lemmie tink aboot it a little more...

It has a Tan wire at terminal 2 in the connector(look closely at the connector...the terminals are numbered), coming from the BCM(Body Control Module). This is the actual turn sig input to the module. From the module, we have a Brown wire with a Red tracer on terminal 4, going OUT to the turn signal bulbs on the pass side.
If you can check the Tan wire for a signal from the BCM, that will tell you if the module is getting the turn sig command from the BCM. With a test light on terminal 2, you should get a flashing light with the pass side turn signal on. If you do NOT get a flashing signal on term 2 from the BCM, the BCM may be bad, OR the wiring from the BCM to the rear module has a fault somewhere.
If you get a flash on terminal 2, move the test light to terminal 4, and see if it is flashing there also. If not, then the module is bad. If it does flash on terminal 4, then you have a wiring issue between the rear lighting module, and the pass side rear light assy.
If that is the case, you could run a "jumper" wire from terminal 4(brown wire w/red tracer) to the turn sig socket(s) on the pass side, and they should work. If so, then you can either wire in a new wire on that circuit, or dig thru the rear harness to find the problem.
