89 Iroc - Left turn signal Help!!

Hey fellas, my left turn signal has never worked since purchase. However, the other day I had the car totally stripped down because it was gonna get painted. I noticed that the turn signal actually worked briefly, perhaps because some cable or something made contact whereas before it didn't. As of this moment, it doesn't work. Obviously its capable of working, its just that some cable or something needs to make contact with some other component.

Any advice? What color wire am I looking for? Fuse switches?

Thanks guys........

You might try jiggling nearby wires as well as removing the bulb and cleaning the socket. Swapping bulbs from side to side might be productive.

Check your GROUNDS. 90% of electrical failure is bad grounds.
