Turn signal or head lamp, not both

[bstone]

The driver's front turn signal/lamp is acting wonky. I can turn it so that it lights up, but then it won't flash. If I turn it the other way then it's dark until I turn on the signal, and it flashes normally. I used my multimeter and it's getting normal voltage. I sprayed liquid wrench in the socket and put a dab of dielectric grease, but it still doesn't work.

 

Any ideas? All other corner lights/flashers work perfectly fine. This light was banged up before I owned it, but the assembly appears to be ok.

 

Ideas?

 

The bulb is brand new.

What are the tail lights doing?

Working perfectly fine. When I twist it so the light is on, then it does a super-fast-flash, but when I twist it the other way to only be a turn signal then it flashes normal speed.

Gut you can only install it in one direction. Do you have the proper bulb?

I think it's the proper bulb. It's got the two bumps on the bottom the the guide bumps on the sides, which line up with the socket perfectly.

When in doubt, swap the lightbulb from the other side

I'll do that and report back.
