Front left parking lamp
Had a funny problem today, front left driving/parking light isn't working, which makes the left turn signals not blink.
when lights are on, left arrow on dash stays lite up, bulbs are fine, even switched em right to left to test, [left rear is fine too] left will still "blink" if I do it by hand, only a 2 prong blinker is used so its not it, right blinks as normal. not a fuse....
all 4 flash as normal if hazards are on.

Re: Front left parking lamp
Well there is the right way and my way. The right way wasn’t getting me anywhere so….
I cut the brown wire for the left parking lamp, which then lets all 4 turn signals and flashers work as normal, no more arrow on the dash, but no power to left front parking lamp. 30” piece of wire from the brown wire for the right front parking lamp, run over to the left front parking lamp….
Walla, now all lights, light up and flash as expected.

Re: Front left parking lamp
my way worked for about a day then it came back, and was a lose ground at the socket but also a bad bulb in the rear that I guess worked against me at first and why I could get anywhere the first time around. After a bumpy ride the rear bulb finally burnt out and revealed itself, wiring is all back to stock.
gonna spend a few bucks and replace all my bulbs.
