Question Help! Please. Turn signal issue

I have a 96 ram 2500. All turn signals work but my front driver side. If I turn my lights on it lights up so not the bulb it just won't flash. If I turn the hazards on same thing all flash but front driver side. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Welcome to DF! The turn signal bulb is a dual filament bulb. One for running lights, one for turns. Probably the turn filament is burned out. Try replacing the bulb.

Replaced bulb when i first noticed it, thinking my next step will be wire voltage, after that im out of ideas. Thanks for the welcome seems to be a great site.

I had almost that same issue on my 2001 1500. I replaced the whole turn switch and come to find out that it was just my fuse wasn't pushed in all the way.

The socket/plug itself may be bad. But yes, check voltage. Get a Haynes, so you can trace the wire.
