Default Drivers side turn signal on speed????

So this happened once before but it some how corrected its self. Im hoping its not the relay. But the back turn signal on the drivers side works. But the front doesnt? I replaced the bulb too. And its still not working. Also its blinking like its on crack...

So Im not sure whats wrong with it. I cant figure out where the ground might be??? Its a 95 btw. Dont need to get pulled over for it not working.

if the other turn signal works fine thats not the issue,checking the post in the socket with a test light will tell if theres any issues with current or ground then go fom there as for where the grounds may be a wiring diag will help there

My Jeep did that. The rapid blinking just means that something else isn't on. My problem was some wiring got shorted. I ended taking it in to get fixed. Like you said don't want to get pulled over.

When you turn on the headlights and turn signal what happens to the front side marker lamp?

Nothing. It doesnt light up. Neither does the turn signal under the head light. Its all dead in the front (turn signal wise). the back works fine

Repair the socket and ground for the marker lamp (not sure on location probably on the header or fender).
