I have found, that, my jeep's socket on the RS turn signal was suspect. your issue may be due to a bad/broken ground or not making contact with the light bulb. check for ground issue first then see if the light bulb is making contact. a plus for you would be if you have any eletronic techy friends that have some tools that help isolating this issues. :brows:

Definately the sockets, had that problem on both of mine. You can get a junky Ford plastic one at most parts stores that will work. The best replacement I've found is the metal ones off a donor XJ at the pull a part. The grounds inside the sockets is the culprit.

Agreed....I just had to replace a RF socket because of a ground issue in it. I found one at Autozone that worked, but it is not a "perfect" fit.

I found one at Advance Auto that IS a perfect fit. It's listed for a Ford, but I don't remember which year and model.
