Electrical problem
1997 Dodge Caravan

My left turn indicator has an intermittent problem where after some time (sometimes takes long time other time it happens sooner) of turning it on. The dash indicator light stays on constant and so does the tail indicator light but the front indicator light goes off. It remains this way when the indicator switch turns off, and only will turn off once I've turned the left indicator switch back on and off again. It doesn't do this all the time and sometimes takes longer then other times. This also happens using the hazard light and causes all lights to go off except the left rear light and the left dash light. The right turn indicator works normal everytime. The car is from Canada and the daytime driving lights (which is the two front indicator lights) works normal everytime aswell. I'm suspecting the combination flasher/drl module to be the cause.

Welcome to the forum, found the above diagram. If you have any questions holler. Dark green wire with red tracer at the bottom carries voltage for rear left turn. Ignition circuit goes hot with the key on. B+ circuit is hot all the time.
