turn signal problem....

I've a 2000 Montana and the driver's side signal lights in the rear flash erratically. The reverse light on this side also does not work. I've check the bulbs and they seem fine and fuse seems ok. Anyone have any ideas on what my problem might be ?

Welcome to the forum!

I would suggest that you take the circuit board out and examine it real close. You may find some areas that are "melted" around the bulb sockets. Supposedly this is caused by moisture entering the rear light assembly.

I have read on this and other forums that they CAN be repaired, or you could replace them. Shop around for the best price as replacement assemblies can be found on eBay for a good price.

Take Care,

I think I've solved the problem ! I read elsewhere on this board that the ground wire was too small for this current and adding a thicker ground might help. Well, I think it did ! I cut the thin black wire behind the circuit board and added a 12 gauge wire instead, straight to the board and the other end I grounded under neath a self tapping screw under the light housing. It's working perfect after a year and a half.

explain this black wire and where is this circuit board. The drivers side tail lights have become a real problem for me. Its only that 1 brake light bulb on the drivers side. it get the melted base syndrome. I'll replace that bulb and within a day its not working again cause the bulb base is melted. so please explain where the the black wire and circuit board for this is located/ thanks
