Replace Bulb Indicator on, but can't find the bulb that 's out. Is this common?
I've checked every light, high beam, brake and can't find the bulb that's out. Could it be something else?

very common on last gen body style. front left connector for the turn sig goes bad.
try this
turn on the light
do not press the brake pedal
start car.
if the light is on. start playing with the lights that are on in the rear
if the indicator bulb is off when car is started
then u press the brake pedal. its in the brake lights
take out the brake lights and look at them. the filiment is kinda in a sring shape. should be some what straight. but if u have 1 of the filiments thats looks rough ends. that bulb is the problem
but if the bulbs look perficly fine.
there is a circuit board for the bulb indicator

Its your brake light, remember the rear bulbs are dual filament, so when you press on the brake the 2nd coil inside turns on and one of those broke. Put something on your brake pedal and then look at the rear.

The trouble sense circuit is pretty sensitive and it came on for me couple of days before the bulb went out. If it has not happened yet, just wait a few days.
