Odd Lights
So i took the 'vette out today and as I turned the parking lights on (as I always do), I noticed the left indicator on the dash was lit up and wouldnt go off. Upon further investigation i noticed that the very front amber, as well as the side amber light on the front left were off when the swtich was turned on. When I turn the left turn signal on, the two ambers that were off before come on as well as the white light on the side, but they do no blink. When I flip the headlights up there is no change and the right side of the car seems to be fine..... any suggestions as to what may be going on?
Thanks!!
Thanks!!

so you are saying your tail light flash when you hit the signal while your front lights are solid.

ok, I replaced the flasher and now all the lights flash as they are supposed to!
The only problem that I still has is the parking lights.... The front and side amber lights only on the left side still dont light up. The rear side and back lights work fine on the left, as do all the other lights around the car. Also the left turn signal indicartor on the dash is on all the time (when the lights are turned on).
I have taken all the lights out and put them back in to see if one was loose like "Nowhere Man" said. Also, none of them are burnt out...

Check the ground wire on that side. Run a muli-tester in the socket
