Default Left Turn Signal not working

My left turn signal does not work. When i turn it on the rear bulb just stays on and the front bulb does not come on at all. Any idea as to what the problem could be?

Thanks

John

Front bulb on that side is probably dead, or the socket could be corroded. I had the same problem with both my blinkers. I replaced both front bulbs and sprayed the sockets out with contact cleaner, let them dry, and they both work normally again.

The front bulb is burned out. Replace it and everything will go back to normal. When a bulb is burned out there isn't enough current flowing through the flasher to make the other bulbs blink so they just stay on.
