94 silverado turn signal problem	Sign In

I have a 94 Chevy Silverado 5.7L. Back a few months ago I had an accident and replaced the whole main front section of the truck (lights, grille, radiator, condenser). Since then I've been having issues with my turn signals. When I would use my right blinker it would just blink really fast. When I would use my left blinker it would cause every light on the truck to flash except for the main light in the cab and the headlights. If I had my day lamps and headlights on. The left turn signal indicator on the dash would stay lit and the blinker wouldn't work. I looked at my day lamp/turn signal sockets and they were pretty badly deteriorated. I replaced them and that solved the problem on the right blinker but it didn't solve the problem on the left side. I removed the front left turn signal bulb and it just acts as if the bulb is blown (blinks fast). Everything works as it should without the bulb in other than the fact that there's no bulb in (all lights on the truck no longer light up as they had been doing). I looked for any loose wires or shorts in the wiring and found nothing. Any ideas as to what the problem may be?

Damage is damage so one size doesn't fit all. Make sure you have correct bulbs and sockets. I'm not going to look it up but should probably be dual filament bulbs, two on each side.

Another test may be take all the bulbs out and see if rear work manually as directional (may not blink but light) and then you know trouble is right at the front where it was hit,

Check all the grounds that they are connected and solid.

So I tried what y'all said and I'm still having the same issue. Is it possibly something to do with the turn signal flasher or relay in the steering column?
