Left Turn Single light Front..really weird!

When I turn on my lights the left (orange) parking does turn on but is on really low. Even when I turn on the left turn signal it does not click on and off as it should. Sometimes it doesn't turn on at all and when it does it is very very low. I tried changed the bulb, makes no difference.

THanks for the reply's guys.

Re: Left Turn Single light Front..really weird!

That is really weird my guess would be a bad ground or short. but for just one to do that idk. I would check out your connections if dirty might do that. meaning on the bulb plug. Try keep it on the turn signal on and wiggle the bulb. Mine did that. Until it got brigther. it was just loose. Worn plug not holding the bulb was my problem. But worth a try to check it out.

Been there. Bad ground. Dim bulb usually means the current is flowing through the bulb backwards. Check grounds on radiator support. Socket ground might be rusted out requiring a replacement socket pig tail from Rock Auto or elsewhere.

Ground a wire on the chassis and touch the other end to the metal collar of the bulb while its still in the socket and see if it works correctly.
