Failing left turn signal(06 ram 1500)
Hello, I very recently bought this ram however I cannot get my front left blinker to work properly. Initially the left blinker sounded very fast, and the amber bulb in the front wasn't flashing at all... just the rear.
After replacing the bulb I tried the turn signal again, and this time the front and back signals were flashing much faster than the right side. When I turn on the headlights the new amber bulb fails to illuminate at all on the left side.
Can someone possibly pose a solution to why this might be happening? I love this truck but this issue with my turn signal is driving me nuts. Thank you !

Fast flashing bulb means one bulb on that side is not working or burnt out. So if you have replaced the bulb once and its not working, I would take the bulb from the right side (since you know it works) and put it on the left side and see what you get. If it still doesnt work then go get you voltage meter out and check for voltage on the left side in that bulbs harness. Check the harness for breaks in the wires, corrosion, melting, ECT.
If all of that looks good then you have to start tracing the wires. Do a search here for the Service Manuals I uploaded some time back and use them for troubleshooting since they have schematics in them.
If you are not electrical or mechanical savvy, then now is the time to take it to someplace or someone that can help.
