Default trouble shooting turn signal switch

I have a 63 and have rewired everything from the cab back, engine compartment and headlights. Most of it is new wire, solid grounds, new bulbs. Headlights, brake lights are working.. I reused the cab wiring after taking it apart, checking for obvious breaks, bad insulation, etc.
BUT, the turn signal is making me crazy. I have read Jolly's web site info. Gone over the wiring diagram, etc.
the LEFT turn signals work, back and front. The turn signal indicator in the dash functions.
However the right turn doesn't work. The bulbs barely flicker. The dash indicator doesn't function. The switch and wiring heat up quickly, to the point of smoking, unless I turn off the ignition.
I have tried several turn signal switches even new ones. (they are for 63 Chevys) the results are the same.
How do I trouble shoot this thing? and please no one say I just need to make 3 left hand turns to go right.........
