Another weird turn signal problem
 
My left turn signal is out in front, but it's not the bulb (the left side blinks rapidly and there's no light coming from left front bulb). The left front bulb works fine in the right front housing, and the right front bulb does the same thing as the other in the left front housing. I took the housing apart and all connections are solid, and my multimeter shows no current to either terminal of the socket when the switch is on, so the break is coming up the pipe from the housing. It seems to me it can't be the switch in the steering wheel stalk, since the rear is working normally. I have a very new relay installed, so that's not it. All fuses are fine.

Any ideas?

Even though the fuse looks good, check that the wires to the fuse are solidly attached. I had a similar problem and the bottom wire was loose..

Test continuity from the bottom of the fuse feeding it to the lamp socket. Also check the ground on that side.
If no continuity, test to the connector in the headlight bucket.

No ground, went to the bucket, found the problem!

I can't imagine how much time it would have taken me to find this on my own. This board has made owning this car fun! Thanks!!!!
