Default Fun Electrical Issues

Hey guys got a few electrical issues I need some ideas with.

1) Left driver turn signal blinks fast and front one is dim at all times. They still operate the same whether night time lights are on or not.

2) I went to change my dome light bulb and theres nothing hooked to the bulb holder, no wires and I can't find any wires to it. I found one set of wires near it on the left but it routes into the body towards the sunroof glass. Any ideas?

Any assistance will be great appreciated, thank you.

From your description chances are the problem is probably in or around the left front turn signal/parking light area. Could be a bad ground, bad bulb, corroded socket, bad connection, short, etc. Just dig around in there. Unplug the the light and see the left rear flashing slows down. Depending on the flasher, some speed up or slows down depending on the load. I don't know what the Porsche flasher does.

The 3 wires going to the dome light are red, brown, and brown/white or red/yellow, brown, brown/yellow.

Sounds like a bad bulb.
