    I have a 2006 Pete 379, left turn signal is working fine, but when I go to put on the right turn signal, it’s flashing on the exterior but not on the inside panel, can’t hear a clicking noise either.

    the signals on the exterior are flashing very faintly, and dim compared to the left hand signal.

    I was told by peterbilt the truck doesn’t have a flasher but a turn stalk module. Any suggestions

    I'd almost bet money you've got a broken ground. Check and see if all your right blinkers illuminate. If there is one bad fix it and I bet your problem goes away

    what’s happening now is that my rear panel right signal on the truck, trailer is working. But there happens to be no right signal in the headlight, and mirror light outside. So on the front end of the truck. I checked the turn stalk module (P21-1012-402) behind the dash with a tester pin and it only is giving out 7 volts

    Plus the right signal is not flashing on the dash inside, and to the proper strength on the outside

    Was there any update on this? I'm having a similar issue, no right turns at all no brake lights on tractor and no indicator light on the dash. I've checked all fuses and connections and even unplugged the main harnesses on the firewall to eliminate all out side possibilities. The turn signal switch was replaced recently so I'm thinking the module under the dash is the problem.

    I have a 2027 589 and my right turn signal on my trailer will not blink it works on the truck. I have checked the pig tail and no power there. This is the Second time I have had this exact problem peterbilt said they changed a fuse and it worked for a little over a month. I have changed the fuse again but still not working. Any help would be nice.

    If you checked the pigtail, you need to work backwards. Check the socket at the rear of your cab to rule out the pigtail. Then check the wires going into the back of the socket.

    OK now you know the problem is with the truck. I am assuming rhat all the lights work on the truck correct?
    Start in the fuse box. I could be the harness, that runs to the back of the truck. I would check that where it comes in to the firewall.
