1986 M1008 no left front turn signal

[DieselStax]

I have no idea what's going on with my drivers front turn signal. I was working the other day but now just the drivers front one dosent work, the drivers rear still works fine and doesn't even blink fast. But I put a new bulb in it and cleaned the grounds arround it but I'm at a loss. And the drivers front parking light and marker light still work fine. If anyone has any input I'm open for suggestions!

Have you checked for voltage at the socket?

You may need to go you your parts house and buy a new socket. The ground tabs inside corrode and break. Seen it happen many times.

Ditto for what its worth. Try cleaning your socket connecters with a little steel wool and use socket grease with the new bulb if your in a hurry/pinch. Replacing with a new socket is the best solution.

Didn't even think of that, I've got a parts truck with good plugs on it that I can take em off and wire it up and see if it fixes it

What happened to mine (passenger side indicator) was that the wire rubbed against the inside fender until the wire was blank and shorted out. worth while investigating that route.

I had the same situation. One of the tabs broke off in the socket, I ad-hocked a small piece of wire inside to make contact with the bulb..been working for years.
