I'm just asking, but aren't the turn signal/drl dual element bulbs?
Anyway, when my drl still worked and the turn signal would not (fast flashing of the dash turn indicator), it ended up being corrosion at the bulb socket. It seems the drl melts a hole in the lamp housing allowing water to enter, which results in corrosion of the electrical contacts of the socket.

so this is where I am. I swapped the micro relay for the drl left and right. That didn't change anything. I removed the relay for the drls and turned on the turn signal and the left side still worked. I went in under the car and removed both bulbs from the housing and they both work but not when the turn signnal is on for the right side. Any thought?

Hazard switch is going bad. Try just slightly pushing on the hazard switch and turn on the turn signal. If it work the hazard switch is bad.

PROBLEM SOLVED. Thanks to everyone who contributed. The simplest solution is usually the right one. It was the yellow 2 stage bulb. One was working while the other was burned out. Y'all have taught me far more than I ever thought I needed to know about lights. Thanks for all the help.
