All other signals work properly and the left socket and bulb work when swapped into the right socket. There are no fuses blown and the relay is working. The wiring has no breaks, frays, or visible problems. All attachments are secure. What have I missed?

Hi,

Is the signal on the left exterior mirror working? I attached a pic from the schematic below and it shows that the power first goes to the mirror.

Let me know.

Hi,

Have you checked to see if there is power the light green wire with the white tracer? Also, in the socket, check to see if there is continuity to ground.

When you turn the left signal on, does it flash really fast?

Let me know.

This 2002 Expedition has no side mirror signal light. Does it still run through a common relay?
