[Vwdiesel] Left turn signal

[LBaird119 at aol.com]

  I'd have to dig out a wiring diagram to get real specific but check the 
turn bulbs on that side, sounds like one might be burned out.  Then 
again with the change from stepping on the brakes indicates the 
brakes or ts's are drawing their ground through the other bulb so check 
the ground/s to that side's rear first then the front.  Most are a plug to a 
galvanized sheet metal "circuit board."  That connection is often just 
cruddy enough to prevent a good ground.  The grounds are common 
between at least some of the bulbs so it draws a ground THROUGH 
the other bulb until power is supplied to it.  :-o
