Turn Signal issues
1988 F250 4x4 - 7.5L 460
Hey guys I've got an issue with my turn signals. I think It's wiring and im hoping i could get some insights or suggestions. The issue is that when I signal left, only the left back light blinks but not the left front or the turn signal arrow on the dash. When I signal right, it is the opposite, the right front and right turn signal arrow blink but not the right back. It is my understanding that the front light and the arrow on the dash are on a circuit and the back is on another. So when you flip the switch it is activating 2 switches for left and 2 for right. All of the lights and arrows blink when the hazards are on because the hazard disconnects the whole turn signal switch and even has its own flasher. Should I just replace the entire switch? or is there some wiring that I could go in and fix. Any suggestions or insights if this has happened to anyone else would be greatly appreciated. Needa get this done before I take her out on the road just passed smog yesterday.
Thanks all.

I've heard that this could be an issue with ground. Where are they grounded? Would it also be worth it to just replace the entire blinker switch, its about 40 bucks. I already replaced the plastic cam that was broken.
