Hello folks,

I have a 97 M1097a2

When I turn on the headlights, the front indicators will steady burn. They flash when I use the turn signal, but both sides will still be on. (For example, when I put on the left indicator, both sides will steady burn, and the left will flash at the same time). This only happens in Service Drive.

Now for the rear. The running lights and blackouts work fine. Only the right indicator works. The left side shows voltage flashing back and forth from 24 to 0-3V, and the ground is good. However, when I plug a known good bulb into the socket, nothing happens (Yes, it's a good bulb. Yes, it's a 24v bulb. Yes, I tried it on the other side and it's fine). There is no corrosion present in the light assembly; it looks relatively new. I plugged the small running light bulb into the brake/indicator socket, and it very faintly lights the filament.

I tested the turn signal switch, and it seems to be testing good. All grounds have been cleaned, and I've got good batteries installed. Not sure where else to look! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
