Turn Signal/DRL
Does anyone have a recommendation for the following, my left Turn Signal/DRL (C5) is not working, however when I turn the headlamps on the DRL lights up but the turn signal does not work. When I just turn the car on the LEFT DRL does not work nor does the turn signal. I do get a rapid turn signal from the car and the Left Tail light blinks rapidly. I have read as many threads as possible on this problem before posting and I may have just missed the solution. I have already checked the bulbs, they seem to be just fine, I have tried one persons thread about the hazard lights but that did nothing to resolve the problem. I am wondering if replacing the bulb will work, or if I probably need to check/clean the bulb connection or is the relay switch the issue?
Thanks

The DRL will not come on until you release the parking brakeI do get a rapid turn signal from the car and the Left Tail light blinks rapidly.

Try changing out the bulb and report back.

It definitely sounds like the bulb is out to me. For whatever reason I've had your exact problem about 4 times within the past six months. Every time but once I got away with replacing just the bulb. Just one time I had to replace the fuse to. Go grab a bulb at wal-mart for 8 bux and let us know how you make out. I'd bet a lot of dough this will fix your problem 
Good luck!
