Default Turn signal problem

Hello all! I have been restoring a 68 convertible and have been helped immensely through this forum. I have finally found a problem that I could not find a solution for already. My left front turn signal flashes but does not flash when the headlight/parking lights are on. During my restoration, I replaced all the wiring harnesses and everything else is working perfectly. I have the same problem when the hazards are on. I have tested the ground to the bulbs and they are good. I wonder if it is a turn signal switch problem. I did not replace the switch. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.

Default Fixed

It appears that the blue and black wire were somehow crossed. I rewired them opposite and all lights work perfectly.

Default Difficult problem with a simple solution.

Just to say thanks for the follow up it's nice to know what the solution was.
You changed all the harnesses and only crossed two wires, you did real good!
