Default Left turn signal not working. Right and Hazards work just fine.

Hey guys, I was wondering if I could get a little help here. I've got a 2002 XLT Screw cab, and here recently I've had some problems with my left turn signal. I've been running LED turn signals for a while, but recently changed my front ones to JDM Astar switchback bulbs. I've got resistors on all four bulbs to fix the hyperflash. When I swapped the front ones for switchbacks they worked great for a little while, then my left turn signal started hyperflashing. I tried swapping the resistors out, but to no avail, so I put the old ones back in. Now my left signal doesn't work at all, the bulbs stay lit outside and on the cluster, but it doesn't blink. There's also a nasty buzzing coming from what I assume is the flasher module. I would think it's the flasher module since it's buzzing like that, but my right turn signal works just fine as well as my hazards. This has me thinking it's the multifunction switch. What are your thoughts? Any help is appreciated.

Honestly I would consiser switching the the flasher and pulling the resistors. Its not expensive and is a fairly simple swap.

I second that. I did all mine LED, and just used a new relay. No problems at all

Cool, I bought a new flasher module yesterday, I'll install it as soon as I get the chance, see if it clears up the problem. It's just weird to me that it's only got the problem on the one side.

I agree with you there. Let us know how it goes.

Swapped out the flasher today, and it fixed the problem! The old one was a little bit melted around the base. Interestingly enough before I swapped it out the problem switched sides, the right turn signal stopped working and the left was working fine. Thanks for the help guys!
