Brand new bulb (known good bulbs swapped in and out) bulb housing, still no luck. The hazards all work except the driver side front blinker.

Hi,

The power for the light comes from the body control module. Do me a favor. Disconnect the connector at the headlamp assembly. There will be a blue wire with a white tracer that is the signal power supply. When it connects to the light, the wire becomes red. see pic below

Disconnect the connector and turn the left signal on and check for power to the blue/white wire.

Here is a link that you may find helpful:

Let me know what you find.

Finally, I was able to get to testing voltage today. I found that I was getting voltage. I hooked my bulb holder with bulb up right out of the plug with some test leads and it was flashing fine. I then plugged the headlight back in and using test leads hooked the bulb holder to the terminals on the headlight housing to see the bulb flashes. I then examined the bulb socket terminals on headlight housing to see that one of the terminals was loose and not making a connection with the bulb socket. So, the terminal in the headlight housing was causing my problem.
