Q: No left turn signal outside
My turn signals are not functioning correctly. I have a fast flashing indicator for my left turn signal on the dashboard, but no lights on the left turn signal on the outside of my van in the front and the back. I don’t have any brake lights on my left driver’s side. But I do have running tail lights on the left side. How can I fix my lights and signals? Could this be complicated to do?
