Default Turn Signal Issues

This is a 2003 Z06. Earlier this week my left front turn signal went out as well as my left front marker light. Both bulbs were good but I replaced them while they were out.
Upon re-assemble my left front turn signal now works but the right front turn signal is now out. Left front side marker is still not working. All of the wires in the connectors look good so I am not sure where to look next. I tried cycling the hazards with no luck. Any advice would be appreciated.

did you check for corrosion in the socket itself?
They have a habit of getting corroded over time.
If they are just go to autozone, [e[boys, or advance and buy new ones.
Do not ask at the counter for them because they will say they do not sell them, because they are not in their computer. they are more or less a generic replacement item.
They do, they are on the shelf next to the bulbs.
The same socket fits most newer GM cars, tail lights, front signal lights and even fits in the back up lights on corvettes.

I put red/white switchbacks in my backups so that if my turn signal or brake lights light up the back up light area lights up red but if it is in reverse they are white.

Check the grounds. I think those are grounded in the ground pack on the passenger side by the hood hinge.

Thanks, this is in line with my thinking. It is random so it seems like a ground issue, just wasn't sure where the harness went.
