turn signal problem HELP!!!
This just happen about 2 days ago-when I signal right-the blinker works, however, when I signal left:
1.my front side marker doesn't have power
2.the front side marker has power but doesn't blink
3. finally, in the rear taillights, the blinker has power, but doesn't blink
*when I put on my lights, the left turn signal symbol is half dull in my dash display (but the signal isn't on)
thanks in advance

To start off, points #1 & #2 in your post contradict each other. Next is a question, how do the lights work when you turn the flashers (hazards) on?

Sounds a little like the problem I had after painting my p.o.s. I didn't tighten down the lamp grounds very well and it caused all kinds of mystery lighting problems all the way to the point of causing the ar to run bad (idle) when the headlamps were on.
Start simple... Check, clean & retighten the headlight grounds on the rad. support, under the hood (just behind the lamps).

I had a similar problem. The blinkers would work though, but only with the headlights off. When I turned on the headlights the right turn signal indicator on the instrument cluster would stay on solid and the blinkers wouldn't work. It turned out that the thin film circuit on the back of the cluster had a small break. I soldiered it and the problem went away.
