Default 69 front turn signal

Can't get the left front turn signal to work. Replace the hole parking light assembly. Rear works but no front left parking or turn signal.

You need to use a volt-ohmmeter to check for 12vdc getting to the bulb socket and that a solid ground junction is also available at the socket. If those conditions are met, the problem has to be with the socket, itself, or the bulb.

P.S. It would be best to evaluate the actual ground point connection (to the frame), clean it up and reconnect it. If the ground connection is poor, it might still show low resistance on the ohmmeter, but not pass adequate current for lighting.

Assuming the right front is working my guess would be you have lost the ground to the LF. In the 3 wire connector the black is your ground. One method I use is to ground a long piece of wire to the alternator and touch the other end of that wire to the turn signal bulb base.
