It sounds like you have a problem with the ground for the left DRL/turn signal. It could be a corroded socket, broken wire, or bad connection at the ground bolt on the radiator support. If there is no ground then the turn signal power will ground through the parking light system (the other filament of the bulb) causing all your lights to flash.

It could also be a bad DRL module but I'd check the socket(s) first - our cars are infamous for getting water in there causing corrosion.
