![Question](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
2 years ago my turn signal recepticle on the driver side front crapped out (due to rust) in my 99 TA. The replacement recepticle uses black leads instead of the factory color codes. I was changing the bulb and my (obviously pretty bad) wiring job came loose. Before I had the original recepticle to go by as a guide to match up the wires... Now I have NO idea which of the 3 colored wires from the factory wiring harness go to which of the three black recepticle leads. There is what looks to be a blue, brown(?), and black wire. On the passenger side they are blue, black w/ white stripe, and black... so trying to mimic the passenger side is no good. Inspection is needed by this weekend. Anybody know the answer to this or would be kind enough to pull their recepticle down and snap a pic for me? Thanks all!

Ok... so I found this pic online and used it as a guide.

The light lights up, but will not flash. Not even when the hazards are on. All the other lights on the car flash just fine (including the driver side rear), but this one is nada. Bad wire? Bad Flasher? Bad recepticle? I have no idea where to go from here or how to test this stuff with a multimeter (although I do have one), and could really use an assist. Thx in advance to anyone who can help.
P.S. I also switched the bulbs to see if that was the problem, but the bulb that was staying on blinks just fine in the passenger side recepticle, and the one the WAS in the passenger side recepticle and working fine now stays lit solid with no blinking.

Ok... Anybody want to buy a 99 TA? lol
Just went to AutoZone and replaced the recepticle and bulb. No good...
Since the passenger side and both rears still work, what is my next step? I REALLY need help here.

I just checked my car after work and they are the same as that picture.
Actually all of mine were white. Some one redid mine too, but I traced the wores back and thats how they are.
A-Blue
B-Brown
C-Black
Maybe This thread can help.
