Check when you hit the brakes if the right front turn light comes on along with both the rear lights. If it does then that new switch is causing this problem also...

Most likely a bad ground on the right side... if it were the flasher, then the left side would not flash. Could be the switch, but this is what happened to me when I had that trailer adapter installed... the blinkers would quit working when my brakes were pressed. Turned out the adapter was wired wrong and not grounding.

So... point being... you might check the ground on the side that's not working.

i had a dead wire after the underhood connection for the lights. so i had to jumper that connection.
but then i had no brake or turn on that corner.
