Right front blinker dead, as is indicator.
Well, wrapping up with reassembling the car and have noticed my right blinker indicator doesn't blink. Its not the bulb, swapped with a known good bulb. Also noticed that my front right blinker in the valence and in the fender fails to light. Rear works correctly, as does the left. Hazards do the same, indicator fails to light as does the front right signal. Leads me to believe they are all tied in together. I've been looking at some of the wiring diagrams for Camaros but not getting anywhere with those. Anyone know where these would be tied together on a bird or have any input on where to look? Oh, and the running/parking lights work all the way around.

Does it light up with just the parking lights on?
Check that it has good ground.

I'd recommend a '73 Pontiac service manual. It will have firebird specific wiring schematics. Other years like 72 might work, but details do change year to year.

Agree with checking the ground wire at the upper part of the core support. I have a corrected wiring diagram on one of my computers for the 1973 Firebird. Just need E-mail.

X2! There is a ground wire on EACH side of the core support for the light harness

The bulbs light up with just the parking lights on. The bulbs do not dim while the lights are on and the blinker is on. I'll take a peek at grounds on the core support.

It's not going to be the ground. You're going to have to trace the Dk. Blue wire. I don't know where you worked on the car, but you're going to have to trace it from the sockets to the steering wiring (inside column too).

Thanks Ransom. It was the dark blue wire where the harness connects to the column harness mounted to the column. Poor connection.
