Q: Left turn signal doesn't work.
My left turn signal is not working. My right one is. It doesn't work when I turn on my flashers either but right does. I've checked all the bulbs. When I plug a trailer into it, it flashes fast like a bulb is out. Occasionally it will work for a click or two. When I turn the signal for left I can hear the relay click once and stop.
