Default turn signal help

a couple of weeks ago i replaced my multifunction switch due to clicking behind the glove box. everything has been working fine, except for my right turn signal. the right rear will come on and work fine but the front i get nothing. i have checked and rechecked the bulbs for the right side, including the one in the dash. have also checked the grounds. i dont get a signal on the dash for the right either. does anyone know if the multifunction switch controls turn signals independently from front to rear? im pretty much out of ideas here other than another bad multifunction switch. thanks

There are separate fuses for the front and rear turn signals on all 4 corners of the truck.

If the indicator is not working either, I would suspect a problem with the dark blue w/ white tracer wire at pin A6 on the multifunction switch connector. If this pin somehow got dislodged or is not connected properly, it wouldn't illuminate the right front turn signal nor the dash indicator.

See the attached exterior lighting diagram for your truck.

search terms ("brake light diagram", "turn signal diagram").
