Default Front left fog light. 69 z28

Hello, I have an original 1969 z28 camaro and am having a problem with the left front fog light. The left fog light does not turn on unless it is blinking as the turn signal. The Right fog light is working. I have even tried switching bulbs and it doesnt change anything.

This is strange to me, because, if it was a problem with the switch, why would the right fog still work? Also, why would it only work when the blinker is engaged?

Thanks for any suggestions.

I have tried jiggling the wires, but it does change anything.

~~~edit~~~
I didn't know i could post this on the main page. Sorry for the double post

Well, for starters, those ARE NOT fog lights. They are running/turn signal lights, and they have double filament bulbs. One filament goes on with the headlights, and the other is the turn signal. Since you seemed to have ruled out the bulb, your problem is either a bad socket (broken/corroded), a broken feed wire, or even a bad ground. My money's on a bad wire or socket. You need to dig more.

Thanks for the reply. Right, the bulb is not the problem, because it works in the other side. If its a bad socket, wouldn't the turn signal not work either?

We just found the problem. The problem is the connector that the wires lead to.
