ejndssn Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbhill Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 yup definatly a ground issue. either the gournd inside the plug is bad or from the plug to the body is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KYMJ Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLHTAZ Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
