Left turn signal not working in Dashboard

The left turn signal light is not working in the Dashboard. Everything else seems to be working. The turn signals themselves work. Is this a fuse problem?

2005 g35 coupe

Thanks

IS it only the left turn? Might be the bulb that just went out. If so so unlucky.

So that would mean the Dashboard has to be removed? Can you buy replacement bulbs?

Thanks

Funny thing happened. I tapped the dashboard where the turn signal was and it is working for the moment. Is this a loose connection or what?

Same thing happened to me when I replaced my "spinal cable" (something like that), the arm that moves up and down whether left or right wasn't fully extended in, if you decide to remove your steering wheel and remove the blinkers you will hear a click when putting it back in. Otherwise just do what I did and jam it upwards and downwards at an angle until it sticks in place.

Guys, I successfully sent my dashboard to this guy on ebay (https://www.ebay.com/itm/183761869942?ul_noapp=true) seller name:ezelectronics201 , they are up in New Jerky/Jersey and they will resolder any loose pins on your dash, this includes gas gauge, turn signal indicators, Cruise lights, speedo, tach, etc.

There are a couple videos on how to remove the dashboard, you just send it up to them, and within 2-3 days they will have it back to you.

IMPORTANT- your call WILL start and run without the dashboard BUT it will eventually cut-off and NOT restart (I think it's a security feature). To take it from me, don't drive it down to the post office, then get stranded on the way home.

I second what Izzy said if you are having this issues send it to the guys in jersey "Eastern electronics" google it, and also the gas level not reading is caused by worn out stuff in the cluster, i killed 2 birds with one stone fixing the cluster.

Just be sure to troubleshoot the fuel level sender and make sure it's sending the correct resistance reading at the pump harness before assuming it's the cluster. It's about a 50/50 split whether the issue is a bad cluster or a bad fuel sender.

I have the same issue on an 05 sedan and can move the tilt ever so slightly and the light starts working again. I've been wondering if a plug isn't completely seated but then again I have the fuel gauge issue also.

Same issue here on my 05 Coupe, with the same "fix" (eventually turns off again). Bad left turn, fuel gauge, slightly dim backlighting on part of gauge.

I had to remove my gauge to flip my fuel needle around after it jumped to the other side of the peg when trying to start on a dead battery; not certain, but I think the issue started after that. Has anyone ever traced if it's a connected not in all the way, or is it soldering that needs to be done?

I'm beginning to believe it is poor soldering to the terminals/pins inside the cluster, seems like that's been discussed on a thread somewhere. I've never done a g35 but I've fixed a similar problem with Honda's first electronic a/c controllers. If I can make it work it'll take longer to R&I the cluster than to fix it. Stupid problem for cars like these.
