So one day I noticed that when my headlights are on my left turn signal icon on my dash just comes on and stays on solid. When I activate my left signal it flashes as normal but comes right back on afterwards. Also outside on my front left signals not the Corning light but the actual turn signal lights the rear bulb doesn't light up when I hit the remote lock, while the one that points forward does. Meanwhile if I activate my left turn signal the rear light flashes while the front one stays solid. I've swapped bulbs to no effect. What's your guys take on this?

Josh, I'm not being nasty, but I DO have a problem following your grammar...
Having said that, it DOES kinda' sound like you have a typical 1157 bulb with one of the filaments fallen against the other, so that the head/parking light circuit is getting into the turn-signal circuit.

My best guess is your front-left, but you should just check (and frankly replace with long-life bulbs) all of them...

Sorry about my poor grammar, yesterday was a long day. Lol. I've already swapped the bulbs but the issue remains.

Success! After reexamining the both sockets on the left side for corrosion, and applying a liberal amount of dielectric grease. Both lights now function perfectly again and no more solid green left indicator. Consider this issue resolved. happy
