both driver's side turn signals

Neither of my driver's side turn signals are working. Passenger side works fine. There is a bulb failure message.

The amber light in the front comes on, but the other circuit in the front bulb won't come on. The rear amber bulb will not come on. Won't come on by turn signal or by flasher.

I've replaced both bulbs.

Please help.

UPDATE

So I'm pretty sure it's not the bulbs or the sockets. I can open up the fuse panel in the engine compartment and bridge across the wires from the passenger side turn signal wire to the drivers side turn signal wire. When I do this, all the turn signals work.

Problem seems to be there is no current being sent from the fuse panel to the drivers side turn signal wire.

Any ideas?

That's 90 % of the work. Now get out the multimeter and start testing the wires for continuity from fuse to switch and switch to driver side lights. If both lights on one side are out, I would look up at the turn signal switch for wiring problems

Thanks for the response. Can you give me a little more detail on where I should be checking for continuity? I'm not sure where to probe (which fuse, where the switch contacts would be, etc.).

UPDATE

The problem seems to have fixed itself (for the moment). Guess I'll cancel my appointment with the dealer, but in the meantime, any more suggestions are appreciated!

Pointing to intermittent wiring perhaps?

You need to come up with a wiring diagram for your model/year. Copyright precludes me from helping on this, unfortunately.

PM Sent covering wiring diagram, it is worth while checking all the connectors on the CEM are fully seated and non have worked loose - Mike
