Normally on anyother 95 TSi AWD, when I turn the lights on, the turn signals light up as well. Now I checked the car last night, and the driver's side turn signal wouldnt light up with the rest of the lights. Now here comes the weird part. If I signal left, the driver's side signal blinks! But when I cancell the blinking, it goes off.

What should I look for here? It did this awhile back with my pasenger side, and my EX friend's dad fixed it, but I totally forgot how he did it.

If anyone is kind enough to help me out, could you be as descriptive as possible.

Ok, when you signal left, the Drivers side signal blinks? Uhm.. Thats the one thats sposed to blink if you are turning left.

I dunno wtf your talking about, but check the connections for corrosion.
 
The bulb has 2 filamints in it (ok, I know I didn't spell that right...)

Replace the bulb, chances are the parking light portion of it is burnt -- yet the turn signal portion of the bulb hasn't burnt yet.


I'd replace it before tearing into your electrical system.
