Default Some electrical problems...help!

Took the TT into the dealer to get the left headlamp replaced. Headlamp had about 7-8 star-like bursts. Replaced without question by the dealer.

I noticed some problems and some odd things that I didn't notice before, hopefully you guys and gals can help.

Problems
1 - left turn signal blinks at least twice as fast as the right one which seems normal - all lamps on the outside blink at same speed as the inside arrow.
2 - front left turn signal does not blink at all.

observations
1 - A red lamp from the underbelly of the ashtray is lit. actually behind the underbelly of the ashtray. Never noticed this before. Is this normal?
2 - When high beams are on, the fog lamps go out. Is this normal?

Before I call the dealer about the problems, I'd like to also know what is up with the two odd items, so I can give them a complete punch list.

Or if any of you know of an easy solution, please post as well.

TIA

These are normal. Don't know about the rest.

Default Sounds like they forgot to plug the LF turn signal back in, or maybe a bad bulb...

Rapid flashing on one side is a symptom of a blown bulb.....
