I have been working on my 37 Chevy getting ready to install Haywire E-series Wiring Harness . Now I haven't started doing any wiring just following the old wiring and checking things out. I just found out that the passenger side the LED tail light stopped flashing ?? I have the both lights in the front flash and the driver side rear flashes but the rear passenger side does not ?? I have taken it down to check grounds and everything is fine .. what could be wrong

Did you switch the left light to the right to determine if it flashes in that position?

LED’s do fail.

if that works then i would do a continuity check on the wires
start simple then work from there
could also check that there is a solid connection to the power on the socket/light

most of the time the flasher is separate

old school uses a flasher relay, round piece usually under dash signal light wires run from it, requires a load to function correctly

modern uses electronic circuit/control box

either way the sign wires should come from here to the lights.
