left turn signal is broken
My left turn signal stopped "signaling". When I push the indicator stalk down the arrow on the dash board and exterior lights stay on but they do not cycle on and off with the click. How do I fix this?

In my experience this is a wiring problem. Could be caused by the common problem of them cracking then shorting out. If you've replaced the sockets before check the wiring. If not it may be time to if they look coroded at all.

The front ones where your bulb goes into. When you take the bulb out do they look good or discolored ? Check the wires leading from the socket up into the vehicle wiring for any cracks or fraying. Is this problem Constant or no?

+1 for replacing the flasher... Super easy to fix. Take off the panel under the steering wheel, unclip the flasher, replace with new flasher, re-clip and button up the panel... boom! Fixed.
Let us know.

Is it a 100% problem or does your left turn signal work sometimes?
Try turning on your left turn signal and turning the **** of your Main Lamp Control all the way to the right to turn on your Head Lamps and back to the off position, does it work then?
I had the same problem on my Camaro and did that as a temporary fix, until one day I changed the STOP/HAZARD fuse and it magically started working
