    This past weekend I was in a funeral procession that lasted about 1 1/2 hrs and I was running my flashers. I noticed when I got home my left front signal wasnt working, left rear is working but flashing fast. The bulb is good, I checked and I dont seem to be getting power to the left front, anyone else have anything like this happen and what did you do? Im assuming I need to trace the wiring until I find power? Thanks for any insight or helpful info. It is a 2005 Prerunner.

    Did you actually replace the front bulb with the same bulb number?

    Bad socket or wiring connection going to it most likely.

    If the Left Rear Turn is working but the front is not it is either the flasher controller under the dash or the wiring from it to the turn bulb socket. There is only one fuse for the turn signals and it is common to all four. Likewise with the stalk turn switch. The signals become separate coming out of the Flasher Control Unit.

    Hi I know this is a little un related. However, does anyone know where to buy that socket with pigtail on that turn signal? I have been looking for a replacement and cannot find it anywhere (the very left bottom picture).
