My left rear turn signal does not work. All other signals work fine, though the rear left doesn't light when I turn on my hazards either. I replaced the bulbs and fuse, but there has been no change. The brake light works fine. The left indicator light blinks/clicks rapidly, while the right goes normally. Any ideas? Thank you.

Check to see if there is power to the light socket. If I recall, these had a printed circuit board set up and they went bad. Let me know what you find.

I went and bought a tester and tried to see if there was power. I didn't get a reading on any of the sockets, even though the brake light and running light work fine. All it did was fry the fuse. Twice. Both fuses were brand new.

Was it frying the fuses prior to your checking it? If not, are you sure you didn't short the circuit with the tester?
