Blinker Problem
Right blinker works correctly, Left blinker stays solid.
Lights work, Hazards blink.
Reading back in old threads it would seem that the left blinker staying on is due to a bad ground. I am not sure if this was a problem before i took out the rear tails for paint or not.
The wires going into the tail sockets look fine, bulbs are brand new though it also doesn't blink with the old bulbs I just replaced for long life bulbs... so I doubt it's the bulbs.
Should I take apart the sockets and actually look at the wiring inside? How do I test/look for the problem ground? Could the bad ground be behind the dash?
Any more information on fixing the issue would be greatly appreciated.
