Rapid turn signal problem...

OK, I've got the rapid turn signal issue on the driver's side. Passenger side operates normally.
- The front driver's side bulb does not light when when the indicator stalk is in the left turn position. Rear driver side bulb lights rapidly.
- The front driver's side bulb does light when the headlights are on
- All other bulbs are OK

Time to replace the relay?

UPDATE: Withe the hazards on, the problem bulb doesn't light. I'll replace the bulb first

Thanks

I had a simmilar problem and I turned out to be bad contact on the bulb socket >>>

Check the bulb first and if it looks OK check the three connectors on the socket. If any one of them looks burn you might need to replace the socket or place a drop of solder on each (that's what I did and it worked). If they look clean, but the buld still doesn't work you can try to bend the connectors a little bit to make a better connection.

Hope this helps, sorry I don't have a picture of the socket itself, but you should know what I am talking about
