99 f150 left turn signal works intermittantly

so sometimes the blinker works fine on the left side, and sometimes it flashes really fast like my front bulb is out.
I just took apart the assembly and the bulb is good, I pulled the connector apart and cleaned all the terminals, still doesn't work it flashes fast like a bulb is out. Sometimes though, it works fine....... I don't get why?

after reading other posts, I tried moving the steering wheel up and down, if I move it all the way down it doesn't work.... if I move it up 1 click it works great, what would cause that?

the other posts might have talked about this, but the issue is the MFS plug pulling apart when this happens.

Time to pull the cover on the steering wheel and take a look at it.
- Also you will want to take off the knee / anti submarine panel and pull up a bit on that harness and zip tie it so it does not pull back again. Pull up slightly, don't go hog wild yanking on it.

Here is one member that had the same issue, and the connector locking clip was broken.
