Default 92 civic - turn signals work when headlights are off but not on

Alright i bought this 92 civic dx the other day and I have a turn signal problem. So they all work fine when the head lights/driving lights are off but when you turn them on the right turn signal won't work and the turn signal dash light for the right side stays on. Any help would be very appreciated thanks Advance.

Check that someone didn't put the wrong bulb in the right front corner light. It needs to be a two-pin bulb. A one-pin bulb will short the turn signal circuit to the running light circuit and cause what you described.

I think the bulb number you're looking for is 1157

It's not an 1157, but a very similar bulb with two filaments. The glass part of a standard 1157 is too large to fit in the corner light housing so it is sort of a special bulb with smaller glass.
