Default 66 mustang blinkers issue

Hey guys I am new to the site and was wondering if i could get some help troubleshooting my blinkers issue. I got my car back from the body shop and began building it. I got the left parking light to work as well its blinker but nothing from the right. A few weeks have gone by and I've been working on other things and all of a sudden both of them are completely out, no parking light or blinkers. All other lights work and my dash is showing them as the solid line instead of them blinking as usual. My neighbor was thinking it could be a ground issue because of my fiberglass front apron but I cant see that being the issue since one side was working. Id appreciate any help I can get, thank you.

+1 on starting with the ground.
Check every one, especially the body to engine block ground.

Is your flasher good? My left side was acting erratically, it would flash good for 2 or 3 cycles then go solid but my right side was good to go so I thought it had to be a grounding issue. After chasing my tail and verifying the wires and grounds I was hit with a blinding flash of the obvious and changed the flasher and voila! Success.


btw, I don't know if it is the same for a 66 but on a 67 there are two flashers. The one for the blinkers is by the cigarette lighter and the one for the emergency flashers is tucked behind the environmental controls.
