The turn signals on my 1998 camry function properly when the headlights are

Has any one changed ANY of the exterior or interior light bulbs?
bad/wrong bulb, bad ground, defective flasher relay
OE...did you ever resolve the issue with this vehicle?
Take a look in the trunk....left side....driver side Hinge area. You should be able to find a wiring harness. Shorts and open circuits are a problem in this harness on some Toyota models. Turn your lights on and wiggle and gently tug on this harness. Any changes with how these lights function?
Turn your parking lights on and check for a burnt out light.
Alexx....did you find out the fix for this vehicle?
I found only one of the light elements on the drivers side front park/blinker worked. Taking the bulb out I found a white substance on one of the contact on the base shorting the contact to the base common. Wiped the substance off and now the blinker works!!!! 10 min fix after reading the above conversations. Thanks Cargurus!!!!
Good for you. Nice to know we are able to help you folks. Keep in touch.
