Normally the problem is in the front lights. This can either be in the wiring connector that goes to the headlight motor and front park lights, or it can be in the front park/turn light socket. Most of the time it is the socket that is faulty. These sockets are available through the dealers parts department and most auto parts stores.

i do not believe it is the sockets doing this i check them .parking lights work .lights on dash stays green.and ican make back flash with switch moving it . this makes me think it in wiring some where .

Does the dash indicator flash when turn signal lever is turned on and off, or does it stay lit up solid?

Customer replied 361 days and 11 hours ago.

stay solid but does nothing in front back does turn red

This is due to the circuit back feeding from the front lights, due to bad grounds in the bulb sockets. Remove the front bulbs, then see if you can make the dash indicators flash on and off when the lever is moved. If you can then the problem is in the front bulb sockets.
