1986 Oldsmobile 98/ Left Rear Tail Blinker Does not engage
Hello everybody this is my first posting.
To clarify, when I turn on the left blinker, the light that indicates the blinker should be on (you know the one that is visible on the dash) comes on and stays lit. It does not flash in anyway. In addition, the actual left turn signal light does not engage in either the front or rear of the car.
The brake lights work just fine, and the right turn signal blinkers work fine as well. Only the left ones malfunction. Any thoughts?

TC switch
Rob I tried finding the "TC" switch in my shop manual for the car and don't know exactly what that is. My friend mentioned something about a "turn signal control unit" Could that be it?
