996TT turn signal prob!

Hey guys,

I had my driver side front turn signal went OUT. The turn indicator started blinking fast, but when I pulled the bulb it didn't look bad at all. I replaced it and NO LUCK! It is still not working. Anyone have any ideas on what else to try? Fuse? Bad Wiring?

Thanks,

Merlin

i had the same problem on mine last yr & was resolved by my indie mechanic clamping the connector end of the headlight housing closer together for better connection to the other connector. The end of the headlight housing looked similiar to end of an electrical wire cord 2 metal connectors.
