Left Turn Signal Problem

Hi ALL! I'm new to the forum

I have a 1986 F350 with a 6.9D I just purchased and have found some problems and one of them is the left turn signal. The socket has 3 wires out the back of it. It uses a 1157 bulb. I have power to the socket the parking light works. With the turn signal on and a test light touching the socket terminals I have power and the test light does flash. When I put the bulb in I have no signal, but do have a park light. I cut the wires and added a new socket and still the same problem. I have used 4 new bulbs. Any ideas??

Thanks, Dave

When you put the bulb in, does the front signal light blink?
Have you checked the ground wire on this left turn signal?

No, No blinking. I haven't taken the time to check the ground, but that was my next step once the weather warms up.
