Turn Signal Issues

I usually do a little research, run a few tests and arrive at the Ah-Ha! moment, but I'm stumped,confused even. The problem I have is that the Left Front turn signal isn't working, the rear turn signals work (both bulbs), with the hazard switch on, the flash is normal speed -in the rear, front left doesn't work, activating the left turn signal causes the typical fast-flashing in the left rear. Normally this might indicate a bad bulb, or even a bad ground. Neither is the case here. This leads to the BCM as the culprit. The kicker, is that I have an Autel diagnostic tool capable of reading live data from the BCM - no trouble codes are set- Live data shows the (switch)-input and (power)-output, signals are working for the left front, BUT the left rear is inactive! ANY ideas why this could possibly be?
 
Yes your read that right, the computer is telling me that the rear turn signals are NOT working and the FRONT one is.

I am considering running a hot wire from the back turn signal to the front with a separate ground, and cutting the power from the BCM- thereby forcing a "series" of three (fast flashing) turn signals - and a brake light in the front....lol
 
Did you find a fix?
