Hoping you knowledgeable people can help a complete dumba$$ like me out. I just noticed today that neither the front or rear left lights blink when the left turn signal is on. However the green arrow on the dash blinks completely normal (I know, at least on modern cars, when a light bulb is out it will blink faster but that is not the case here). The rears are Spoke LED's and the front are regular incandescent. I do know that at least the front worked the last time I drove it because it saw the reflection in a car in front of me. Also the red brake light to the right of the turn signal and corner light to the left do light up well so I don't think it is a wiring issue. However I did remove both the rear and front light to inspect/clean to ensure proper connection and they looked good. The right side all work perfect!
Where do I go from here? What else do I need to check? |

Finally was able to get this fixed! Posing just in case it can help someone else out as well. The front was just a bad connection. On the rear, the issue was the wires that go to the housing were switched. I think when the body shop had the car when I got rear ended, they must have pulled the housing out and just mixed them when they put it back together. A very simple solution that caused such a big headache for me.
