So I could use some troubleshooting suggestions for this electrical issue.

My right turn signal blinks but not the left. I figure the flasher is good or it wouldn't blink at all.... Is this correct?

New wiring harnesses, new bulbs, new switch but still using the original type flasher. Brake lights work. Running/parking lights work. The indicator lights up but nothing flashes on the left side. I checked ground and even added a ground jumper wire from housing to body but still not blinking. Using 1157 in rear and 1157A up front.

Any suggestions?

Yes, flasher is good.
Does the rear turn light up but not blink? Check the dark blue wire in the connector on the inner fender near the core support.

Yes. The rear and front bulbs illuminate as does the indicator in the dash. I checked the connection at the core support but I can easily check it again. I will do that shortly and report back.

Does the front and rear bulbs illuminate when the parking lights are on? The bulb sockets could be wired backwards.

I thought maybe too many right hand turns and the left hand blinker fluid leaked out. Glad you found the problem.

I was thinking something similar....
Maybe this car led a clandestine career in NASCAR and just plain wore out the left turn signal. :)
