2008 Suburban turn signal issue
Looking for any advise on where to begin beyond replacing bulbs to cure problem with left side turn signal. As with most cases when a turn signal bulb burns out, the flasher will cause the remaining bulbs to blink faster until the burnt bulb is replaced. I have replaced the rear left hand bulb along with the right side reverse light bulb that was burnt out. After the bulb replacement, I still have the problem of the front bulb and ones in side view mirror blinking faster than normal and the bulb that was replaced is not blinking. The tail light however is working. Has anyone encountered the same electrical issue and found a cure for it? If so, what did you find to remedy the problem. Appreciate any support here as it is a nagging problem due to my always using my turn signals.
Wondering if the bulbs installed are the correct ones and if the in store references have provided the wrong information for the turn signal and running light bulbs.
Is the 3057 or 3157 the proper bulb for the turn signal?

The 3157 should be for the DLR's the 3057 should be the correct bulb for the turn signal....

Thanks, the store reference guides show 3057's for both bulb locations. I currently have 3057's in all four sockets. I will replace the two 3057's with 3157's in hopes I get my left side turn signal on the rear working again. If it doesn't cure the problem, I will be checking the weather pack connector. I checked it prior to replacing bulbs and it appeared to be fine. But, we have had a lot of snow that gets thrown up into the rear facia area where the weather pack is located. Wondering if a wire got stretched and separated inside the insulation for the turn signal. All the other lights work fine.
