| Iv'e tried mym best to figure out why all my lights work 'cept my left rear turn signal , when I turn my flashers on, it blinks along w/the others, but when I just turn my left signal on, the front one works, but the rear doesn't any suggestions? I'm froze & stumped. Thanks a million. ...ps. I apologize for sounding so ignorant, but for what it's worth... if you have a plumbing question I can answer that... |

First off, what year bus? I've been having the same problem in my '74. The socket in the back for the bulb is loose and rather rusty. Of course, check the bulb too...
I'm just gonna get a whole new assembly from gowesty, it's like $20 or something. Easy fix, and will look a bit nicer than my cracked ugly ones now.
Good luck! |

Ayep. If that rear lamp is working during emergency flasher mode, but refuses to work during normal blinker mode, then the wiring and the bulb are not at fault.

It's the device you used to turn on the blinker, usually protruding from the steering column  .
You may have a bad contact or broken wire in there, take it off the column and have a look. Don't lose those oddball screws.
