I did a search and couldn't find a answer for my problem.
My problem is when I have my driver side blinker on the front won't light up but the back does? In between blinks on the rear it kinda stays dimly lit. All other lights work just as they should.
What I've done to try and fix the problem.
1. Replace bulb.
2. Cleaned inside of housing connections
3. Checked wiring all seems in tact and in good condition
4. Trying the test light now.........

Is there any thing else that could be causing this problem?

in order for either one to come on(frotn or rear) you have to have a complete circuit. So a you have a small short, or bad connection.Take apart the connection between the switch and turn lamp assembly just inside the core support. Sometimes a little moisture gets in there, hope this helps

Found the problem I took out the front signal assembly and the turn signal wire broke off in my hand so I need a new light assembly or solder it back together sorry for the pointless post and thanks for the reply NLUV

There is no such thing as a bad question but there can be bad advice but since you asked here the advice almost always help.

Assuming you have a good battery this won't help but just in case. I was changing the stock lights with aftermarket and just couldn't get them to work. It was driving me nuts I replaced the flasher and pulled them off and put them back with no luck until I went to start my truck. Sumbitch was deader 'n hell. Once I charged it up and got it started the signals worked just fine.
