i just replaced all the bulbs since one was out but every light works

iand the right tail light is on it just doesnt blink its also looks to be a newer bulb fixture

Check to make sure they have a good ground, 9 times out of 10 this is the problem. An Ohm meter will tell you if there is any resistance to the ground.

yep X2! I just had the same problem on my 64:yes: It was a grounding issue, I had to replace the tail lamp sockets in order to fix it on my car.

hmm this is a brand new tail light socket

but ill check the ground

there shouldn't be any power going to the ground correct? i know how to wire a house but not a car in a house there shouldnt be anything going to the ground its just an in case type of thing

the sockets ground to the body:yes:

If the lights are on and you put a test light between the positve and the ground, the ground will be hot, because it's completing the circuit. If you test the ground to the body it should not be hot though. As mentioned there should be a black ground from the harness or light socket that should go to the body.
