Unhappy No left turn signal. Help!

right blinkers works via turn signal and flasher switch. No left turn signal light on dash and it doesn't work when u hit the flasher button or use the turn signal switch. I checked the left turn bulbs. Pulled them out and connected them directly to the battery and they work so I'm assuming its not the bulbs or the turn signal switch since the left doesn't work with the flasher switch either. checked fuses but I couldn't find specific ones for the left turn signal, is there one? Contacts seem clean, no corrosion at all.

Could it be the flasher/relay? Maybe one side is bad?

I just purchased this coach ed with 34K from a friend. So far it looks like this left turn signal is a problem and the rear side markers bulbs need to be replaced.

Please Help a newbie!

Thanks!

It was the relay.

I went to my local junk shop and found a relay out of the only 2000 Tacoma they had. They didn't have any rx300/30/50/400h's or any of the models I'm going to list below. This should help anyone looking for a flasher relay. It cost me $11 instead of $65 at the stealership.

So the 81980-50020 or 81980-53020 found or our RX's are also on these Toyotas/Lexus:
Tundra 00-02
Camry 05-06 (made in Japan I think)
Highlander 01-09 inc. Hybrid
GS300, 400 98-00
LS400 98-99

So I'm guessing there's a good chance that you'll find other electrical components on these vehicles too!
Hope this helps!
