For some time, I have had a problem with the left front turn signal not operating when all others were fine. The bulb has been tested. No power at the socket.
I also replaced the Swiss turn signal switch with an Austrian one and then the signal began working. Happy Days!
Now, I've noticed its out again. Same symptoms.
Question: can the flasher fail so that just the one corner will go out? If not, maybe a grounding problem?
Thanks for your time.

Re: Left front turn signal
I would look for a ground problem first. The t/s lamp fixture is grounded to the body under the dash directly behind the fixture. Should be a brown wire. There's possibly some corrosion between the connector and the body.

Re: Left front turn signal
I don't have that Pinz anymore to look at but I think that was a Truck Lite Signal-Stat # 2634 24V electronic flasher.
I've also used the Tridon EG-23 (Made in the USA !) 24V flasher successfully. Also available NAPA branded as EG-23.
