Weird Turn Signal Problems

When I go to turn on my right hand turn signal, about half of the time the front does not blink at all and the rear blinks very guickly, then generally after several seconds the front will kick in and both will blink at normal speed. I tried changing my front bulb (even tried the back) and no help. The other weird thing is if I use the lane change mode or hazard switch, it seems to not do this. I made sure the front bulb was secure and the socket did not appear to have any corrison.
I had to replace the flasher unit on my 74 mustang in HS a few times, but if I remember correctly, when it went bad it affected all four lights, not just one light.
any thoughts?
thanks

YIM After reading your post again, I have to say that I'm 99% sure you need to replace the multifunction switch (which is the whole turn signal stick including the part that attaches to the steering column). You'll be taking the plastic off the steering column and the ingition key solenoid to remove it, but no big deal at all if you follow Haynes/Chilton.

Now that I think of it, even your local ford dealer should have the part for a price near what Mustangs Unlimited sells them for.

Your description is exactly the problem I had AND I too changed a couple bulbs that didn't need replacing.

Someone please speak up if I'm off here, but that's how I solved the problem.

Good luck.
