Sounds like a ground issue but it's not an easy task to find it. A test light and a lot of patience is needed for this one.

i know this sounds crazy but i had the same thing. the bulb was incorrectly in the socket. there are 2 pins, u can actually get the bulb in both ways, however u will notice 2 on either side of thr bulb, one higher one lower, try half turn.

Swap out the right and left side bulbs to double check that it is not a bulb problem. If not a bulb problem, check all fuses and relays, especially any that were installed in-line... while doing this make sure each connection is tight and has dielectric grease on it for weather proofing. These two steps correct 99% of turn signal problems... if still not working, it's time to bypass the wiring harness and run new wires... one of the wiring harness wires may have separated.

If this doesn't work get a multi-meter and check it out. Start from the bulb housing and work your way back to the switch.
