My turn signals haven't worked FOR YEARS. Help me.

I haven't been able to figure this one out, neither has my mechanic. I'm working on bringing the car back to life and this is one of the big things on my checklist, any help would be appreciated! Here's what we've got:

Front left, front right, rear left turn signal lights all turn on, the rear right does not turn on at all. All bulbs are good and all fuses and connections seem to be in good working order. The working bulbs turn on but do not work normally.

When I press the emergency light switch the working bulbs all light up but do not pulse. The rear right light does nothing.

When I activate right turn signal the front right light pulses once and stays on (same time as when I activate the switch). It stays on until I turn off the signal. The rear right light does nothing. When I activate the left turn signal the result is the same except both front and rear left lights pulse once and stay on.

On the gauge cluster I when I activate the turn signal either way both right and left turn lights turn on and stay on. I'm pretty sure this is standard to let you know a light is out. Is the rest normal for a lights being out? They haven't worked for so long that I've forgotten.

I think I may have mixed up some wiring behind the gauges long ago. Is that a possibility for not getting any response from the rear right signal? What else can I look for if all the bulbs wiring and fuses seem good?
