Default demonic turn signal - please help

Hi,
(its the left front turn signal)

I changed the bulb. Still it didnt work.
I changed the fuse on the left side of dash... still nothing
So i took the round thing under the dash that makes the clicking noise from the hazards and switched it to the turn signal one. After that atleast the drivers side turn signal would blink on the dash instead of remaining solid and it would click and the rear (left) turn signal would blink. So, that takes care of the "getting pulled over for non working turn signal" but i am upset that the left turn signal in the front doesnt work.

When I turn on my head lamps, it turns on.

When i turn on the right turn signal, the right side blinks and the left side stays turned off. When I turn on the left turn signal, it stays turned off but the right side goes solid yellow.

Can someone please help me.

Thanks,

Crystal

From your post I can't tell what you drive??I clicked your homepage to see what you drive and all I got was a pic of what I assume is you.Definately not disappointed with the pic but,it doesn't tell me what you drive...

Plus have you done any work concerning the lighting and signals on the car?Any aftermarket stuff??

My right turn signal was corroded pretty bad. The terminals on the light socket were rusted to the point that they started falling out. I could get the light to work but not blink. Went to a GM dealer and got a new socket that comes with crimps for about $60. If it's a trans, the daylight lens tend to crack and let water in (hence the corrosion). If that's the problem hope it helps.
