Default 1997 venture turn signal not working

The left turn signal is not working. I have replaced the bulbs, but that didn't help. The dash turn signal light indicator blinks rapidly, so I suspect an electrical problem. Any areas I can look at myself so I don't have topay a repair shop to look at it? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

Check your tail lamp circuit board. They are prone to corrosion.

I used to own an 98 Venture. My issue was that the left side turn signal wasn't blinking, it just stayed illuminated. A friend of mine suggested to look at the tail lamp assembly, he stated that the circuit boards corrode. He was right it was corroded. Anything is possible like a turn signal switch or flasher but in my case it was the circuit board

Before I got this front left turn signal light, I experienced problem in my tail light also and your are right that the board is corroded that caused the problem. I made a jumper to correct the corroded pin. The problem before was when I hit the brake the tail signal light is blinking plus rapid tick on the dashboard. So.. I fixed that problem before by putting the jumper. But now that the problem is the front signal light I want to know if the tail light circuit board has electrical connection with the front.
