I have a 77 Plus 8. The left side turn signals both front and back turn on and stay solid when I turn on the left turn signal. When I turn on the right side those lights work just fine. The four way flasher works fine and all lights blink as they should in that mode. So what is up with the left hand side not working? Any thoughts?.

Generally if they light but don't blink it means not enough current is flowing to heat the bimetalic strip in the flasher enough to operate. It could mean poor connections or grounds on that side or one or more incorrect bulbs. If all those check out , you could try a modern flasher designed to operate incandescent or LED lights as these are not dependent on much current to operate.

regards,
Phil

So the fact that the four way flashers work fine has no impact?

Four bulbs would draw plenty of current; two might not if they were poorly connected or grounded or incorrectly sized.
