Pull the trunk carpet back behind the lamp assembly. Remove the 3 nuts from the bolts and pull the lamp assembly away from the body. Then disconnect the connector to the bulb then twist the socket cc to remove the socket then pull the bulb out of socket.

2011 Ford Edge Rear Left Turn Signal not working - Bulb and Socket confirmed good. Fuse Controlling both Left Front and Rear turn light confirmed good. Front Left turn light working fine.

The flasher is under the dash.If you turn on the signal listen for it's location.Turn on your 4 way flasher and see if the left rear light is flashing.If it's not then replace the bulb.If it still does'nt work after replacing the bulb check if there is power to the socket. Use a probe light.If no power to the socket.There is a break in the wire or worse the signal switch may be the culprit

My left turning light gets stuck just stays on even though you turn left and go back but my right turning light works fine

The turn signals are designed to tell you when a bulb burns out. Turn your signal light on and walk around the vehicle to check if the outside signal lights are working. Sounds like you have both front and rear bulbs burnt out for the left.

1998 chevy lumina: rear window brake light not working, left brake light not working, rear left turn signal not working

See if bulbs have burnt out in the left brake light and rear turn signal (one bulb if combined) and also rear center high mount brake light.

If the left turn signal has a slower speed than the right turn signal, this is a symptom of a bulb or bulbs burnt out.

Usually, the wiring is not a problem, but I would not rule wiring (or sockets) as a problem out.

Good luck on this repair.

My left turn signal goes too fast when i want to make a left turn but my right turn signal is fine... how do i make the left one normal again?

Replace the burned out bulb. It is flashing fast to alert you that bulb is burnt out. Turn on the side that works properly & note all bulbs flashing in front, rear & side. Most likely there is at least 1 burnt out on the other side.

My left indicator does not blink, it stays solid

I would start by checking the blinker light bulb on the left side front and or rear,some vehicles will blink real fast and some wont blink at all when a bulb goes bad.

Rear blinker does not work need to access bulb

Your rear bulb is burnt out if you say the front one is working .. the speed up of flashing means your bulb is bad.. you might have to get in the trunk and unscrrew those hand wing nuts and push that tail light outward to get to the bulbs ... thanks Jerry and holler if you need more.

Front signal light not working and rear signal lights flashing fast on 1999 intrigue

Your front turn signal socket is shot. Buy a new one at the dealer for about 30.00. It will fix it. You may be able to clean it and wiggle it to get it to work. But it wont last very long. I had the same problem. Replaced the socket and it is fine. Note: If one side is bad the other side it not far behind. Probably 2 or 3 months it will go also. Good Luck.
