Front turn signal marker

I am having a problem with my front right turn signal marker. When the lights are off the both front turn signal lights work fine, but when I turn my headlights on the front signal light does not light up with the headlights like the left does. Both right front turn signal lights still work though, also the little green arrow light is constantly lit up solid, but only when I turn my headlights on. I have replaced every stinking light on this car and still have this problem. Any have any ideas? Please?

Sounds like the marker light may be a broken wire, or a bad socket. Check the socket With either a test light or a multi meter to find out if it has power.
I'm not to familiar with birds, but I had a similar problem with the directional arrow staying lit up on the dash panel on my camaro.
It was a short in the printed circuit board behind the gauge cluster. Are any of your other gauge or cluster lights affected when yuo turn your headlights on?

sounds like filament for park illumination is broken in the RH bulb, pull the bulb and carefully inspect condition of the filament the one closer to the base of the bulb, not the one up higher and skinner and longer(brighter)
the heavier guage filament is the running parking ligt filament, either that or the bulb contacts are worn or smashed or the socket of light assembly is bad, or wire is broken somewhere, as previously mentioned.

turn on parking lights and with cover removed play around with the bulb or another bulb preferably, in the socket and see if it tries to light up.

you dont have ground problem or you wouldnt have turn light filament working either.

good luck
