I have an intermittent issue with the driver side turn signal that when the headlights are turned on, it doesn’t always work let it sit for a little bit and it will work with the headlights on turn the headlights and parking lights off. It works perfectly normal. First thing I have done was I replaced the combination switch thinking that was the issue it worked fine up until today. Now it is back to doing it again. I am starting to think of condemning the turn signal flasher relay, but I am not sure cause it doesn’t intermittently and it’s hard to pinpoint when it does it what I need to test

It sounds like the flasher module is going out. I would check the ground at the left side headlamp/blinker (G100) which is on the left side of the engine compartment. Here is the headlamp and blinker wiring daigrams so you can see how the system works. I also have included the flasher location as well for replacement if the ground is good. Check out the images (below). Please upload pictures or videos in your response of any problems so we can see what to help you with.
