Default Left Side Driver Light Out?

My left side exterior driver light went out a couple of weeks ago. I replaced it the other day and it tested ok after starting the car. Next day, it was back out!?!? I just got done poking around and tried another new bulb but no go? I checked the fuses and they all looked fine although I couldn't determine exactly which fuse is for the driver side "driver" light based on the cryptic diagram. Any ideas? The housing looks fine... :confused:

Did it burn out? Have you tested it with a Voltmeter to see how much juice is running to it? Sounds like its grounding out somewhere. If it works initally then it would not be a fuse. Good luck! :cheers:

first one burned out but the other 2 I put in did not burn out and looked fine "visually". Test with a meter? Now that would be a good trick since I can only get one arm in that cavity. :)
Also, my left turn signal is blinking twice as fast as normal. Is that by design when a bulb goes out or a sign of something else? thx.
