Default Blinker problem, I'm stumped

*I did use the search feature but didn't help my problem*

Here is the situation, my driver side blinker does not come on when the DRL's are supposed to be on, the passanger side is fine. Also, when I turn my blinker to the left the light would stay green but the bulb would not turn on. I checked for water or anything that might affect the wires. I replaced the bulb, that didn't help, the light would still stay green on the inside and the bulb would not turn on. I checked my fuses, all are good. Grounds are good as well. I replaced the flasher underneath the steering column, that fixed my green light problem, it's blinking now but the bulb still won't come on. The bulb turns on when I turn my headlights on, but won't come on when I turn the hazards on. Rear turn signals are fine as well. I don't know what else to look for, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

check the other bulbs to see if they are burnt out, some are dual filament. also you can try to pull the bulb out and rotate it 180 degrees.

Yes, it would be a good idea to check to socket.

^^Good write up on checking for corrosion and probably replacing the socket.

Socket part number is 12159662.

Definitely the bulb socket... mine did the same thing a few weeks back. I didn't replace the socket, but what I did was take a flathead and scrape out the rust and stuff out of the socket. Then get some electrical grease and lube it up and put the bulb in (sorry that sounds kinda )

Once you get the bulb in you might wanna jiggle it around a few times. Once I did this my bulb has worked perfectly.
