Please Help!!

Ok here we go:

My left blinker works great. My right blinker on the other hand.............

When I turn on the headlights it is brighter than the left. If I have the lights on and turn on the right blinker it stays bright and the side marker shuts off.

Now if I have no lights on and flip the right blinker on it lights up to the normal parking lamp brightness not blinker brightness. But it still doesn't blink.

I hope everyone follows and it wasn't too confusing. Also remember that the lights are ok all around the car and the ground is in good shape for the right blinker. thanks for any help.

could be as simple as a bad ground, or quite possibly the turn signal switch itself. sounds like the switch is going because its unable to carry a load. the voltage is still there, just not enough current. i would start with the ground and go from there.

I checked the ground I took it and touched it to the battery and still nothing. could the switch be bad even though the left blinker is ok?
