61 valiant turn signals ??

Thanks for the reply, the turn signal switch on this car works perfect

No, it clearly does not.

no slop and even cancels itself when turning.

That's nice, but the switch is electrically faulty, which is why your light on the one side of the car isn't working.

I am not so concerned with the turn signal

Mister Horse, the water is right up ☝︎there ☝︎in post № 9. It's a pity you don't seem to want to drink it, but that's your choice. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

as to the brake working. Will mess around and before I drive the car I will jumper from the left to the right light stop light.

Think carefully about that for a minute and maybe you'll figure out why that's a dumb idea.

One thing about old cars: sometimes they break in ways that you'd rather they didn't. No amount of being "not so concerned" with the broken part will make the car change its mind and break for you in a way that you'd prefer.
