    Turn Signal Problem

    My front left turn signal does not work. I have replaced the bulb and fuse, neither helped.

        Most issues are due to dirty connections or bad bulbs.

        Clean all bulb sockets and replace the bulbs

            your flasher might be bad or have dirty connections. get to that and make sure it's clean too. it's plugged in to the turn signal switch harness inside the steering column cover thing

              That means one of your bulbs is out in the direction where it clicks to fast.

                Grounding issue. Had the same problem numerous times. Clean the connection in the light housing itself. If that doesn't work, check the connections on the other end, at the turn signal stalk end.

                  I'm surprised no one has mentioned the relay?

                    If it's only one side it wouldnt be the relay.

                      I've had this issue once after a rainy night. Just turned out to be a dirty connection since the lights don't seal. Unplugged the lights, checked the pins, plugged it back in, and then it worked.
