Signal light make me crazy

Signal light make me crazy
I have a 2003 Dakota. The drivers front signal light doesn't work. I changed all the bulbs and still nothing. The back blinks but of course it blinks fast. I changed the bulbs again and still nothing. The driving lights work just not the signal part of it. sometimes they work and then the next stop, nothing. More times than not they don't work. Also I put the emergency flashers on and the lights flash on the driver side. When I hit the remote button for the door open, all the lights flash. Anyone ever have this problem or know what to do? Is there a flasher fuse? Is this all done in the computer? Thank you!!

There are two bulbs in the front parking light housings. One for turn signals and one for parking lights. If you have not done it already, replace both bulbs. There is also a flasher relay under the dash to the left side of the steering column, it could be bad, or have an intermittent short in it causing the blinker problem. You may also have a bad wiring connector on the turn signal bulb. It could be broken or corroded, or caked up with dirt etc. You might also have a bad ground. There is a ground lug connection on the inside of each fender well near the headlight/parking light assemblies. Check those and be sure the connector ring terminal and the ground lug itself are both clean shiny bare metal. This sounds to me like a wiring or connection problem at the front turn signal bulb.
