Left Turn Signal no Flashie?

Hey guys, I just finished a bed replacement and bedline/paint job on my 93 and after reinstalling the head and tail lights the left (driver)side just lights up and does not flash? Do I have a ground problem or is it a switch problem? Also, the rear left side seams to be dimmer than the other???

Anny help would be greatly appriciated.

Cheers,
Colby

I've seen combination tail lights do some funny things, usually when there is a bad ground. The lights will ground through each other and it makes no sense how they could act the way they do, but once you tighten up the grounds it goes back to normal. I'd say check that all the connections are in the right spots and are tight.

Check out the bulbs, moving them around making sure there is good contact where the bulb goes in (rear). You can also check the wiring harness plug in the rear to make sure it is connected, no wires pinched or loose. It does sound like a grounding problem. Let us know what you find out.

The hazards work off of a different flasher than the blinkers.

Could the flasher for the blinkers be bad? Try swapping the two around ( if they are the same?) and see what happens.
