Hey guys i recently noticed that my front left turn signal stopped working completely. Right one works just fine, but when i turn on the parking lights the drivers side is dim but the back lights work as they should. i took out the front left bulb and the back left turned on when i hit the left blinker but it didnt blink. Any ideas? :shruggy:

Thanks, Jeff

make sure the  turn signal housing is well grounded  to the front valance  , i ran a dedicated ground wire to each of mine , just to make sure  , cause i'm nutts  like that , also  check the  front head light harness  , 2 ground wires that  are attached to the core support ,  are on shiny metal
Feel free to post any relevant picture you think we all might like to see in the threads below!

Ok so i tried a dedicated ground and checked the one on the rad support but the light is still dim. Im getting 8.75 volts on the drivers side and 9.75 on the passenger side. Also when i put the bulb in bakwards it lights up like the left one. Any ideas what i should check next?

Thanks, Jeff

 Assuming you are grounding from the lamp housing, then try grounding from the bulb socket. Over the years I have had 2 cars that the bulb socket was not making good contact with the housing, in spite of looking ok.
