PFL LED rear turn signal inoperative

As the subject says, my led rear turn signal on the left side has stopped working, but the incandescent amber bulb still does.

LEDs are wired in parallel with the amber incandescent bulb and I did verify power getting to the PCB where the LEDs are mounted. I suspect one of the driver chips have gone.

Does anyone have any ideas? Or am I looking for a set of new ones?

Check that your grounds aren't burnt. They were too light a wire gauge on the PFL and your car may have subject to a recall on them.

The small gauge wire looked pretty good, no **** stains or evidence of magic smoke.

I’ll double check though. Time to dig out the power probe.
