Lets try this, start with checking the left side front signal lite and the wiring to it.
If your vehicle has separate lights on the rear for signal lights, then you need to check that wiring also. If the signal lite on the rear uses the same bulb as the stop lite don't waste any time there because the problem would affect your stop lites also. There could be an intermittent short between the L/F signal lite and the signal lite switch on the steering column. Most of the time the light or the wiring causes the problem. You could always leave the left turn signal on and start moving the wires and watch for the lite to stop working in which case you may have found the area with the possible intermittent short to ground.
