daytime runnig light and blinker issue

So I took my car to the muffler shop the other day and when I turned on the left blinker it didnt blink. When I got to the shop I checked the bulbs and they looked fine, then I noticed the left front daytime running light wasnt on. I turned on the parking lights and it lit up but still no blinky. When I got it back home I took out the left front bulb and repaced it with a new one, nothing. So, I took a test light the socket and I got no power to the socket until I turned on the parking lights. I have no idea where to start looking. Anybody have any ideas?

Car in sig....

Turn signals only work with the key in the on position. There a 2 filaments in the turn signal bulbs, one operates the running lights and the other the turn signals. You can try replacing the rear bulb. There's also a turn signal flasher that could be bad; it's location is shown here in Shoebox's diagram:

Tried replacing the rear bulb and nothing. Basicly my problem is I can turn the parking lights on manually but the left turn signals dont work (rear blinker lights up solid and front does nothing) and neither do the daytime driving lights. Im not getting any power to the socket till I manually turn on the parking lights, and the blinker still dont work.
