Not sure if the colder weather was a factor but that seems to be my issue with left side marker and left tail lights out.
*Just confirmed #4 fuse was my issue. Blaming it on the change in temperature.

Thanks! I just ordered a new batch of fuses. I actually don't have any spares and the local store didn't have any in stock.

5) bad/loose turn-signal relay.
I'm betting that corrosion caused by water spray over the years is the culprit. Remove the bulbs and thoroughly clean the sockets and connector springs as well as the ground connections. This should solve your problem.

Excellent tips.
The lights are still working so clearly there is something loose. So these are all good ideas of things to go through.
Then it's on to figuring out my mirrors not working and my sunroof. I am pretty sure the sunroof is the switch.
