Default Turn signal issues
Have a 96 Dakota. Driver side, front turn signal/Hazard light not working. I've tried different bulbs, I've replaced the socket. All other quadrants are working. I'm at my wit's end. Someone please help!

I'm assuming so, because it turns on when I pull it the headlight switch.

Is the turn signal the same bulb as the running lights?

I don't know how to check for power to the turn signal side. What do I set my multimeter to?
