Hello, my name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* thank you for using just answer. The site will prompt a phone call, but that is not always necessary. If it is necessary later in the conversation, I will propose it. I am sorry you are having this concern, but I will do my best to assist you.
Does the right hand rear turn signal work ok? I would go under the truck and take a look at the wiring, especially where the trailer harness connects to the rest of the harness, and look for any obvious damage. Hope this helps, thank you.

Ok. My next move would be to access the wire that feeds the left rear turn signal up front, and check the voltage supply there. That way, we know if its from there back, or internal headed towards the turn signal switch itself.

I would access the turn signal switch on the column, and get to the connector for it. There will be a dark green/red wire on terminal 15. This is the output for the left rear turn signal. Back probe and see what voltage you have on that wire, with a voltmeter.

Yes goes away under load. I am leaning toward the turn signal switch itself.

No problem, have a great day.
Still not sure what you need?
Have a certified mobile mechanic diagnose what's wrong with your car, at your home or office.
