You were very much correct. It was the front turn signal bulb that was the problem. I couldn't see anything wrong with the filament so I tried re-seating it. That made the problem not as bad, but it still wasn't working right. So I replaced the bulb and now every thing is in order. The filaments didn't look to be touching but the contacts on the bottom of the bulb were really pancaked out, so I think they could have been touching a little. Perhaps. Thanks for the tips, it saved me a lot of time.
