Turn Signal Problem

[Tsvi]

I'm having a problem with my drivers side front turn signal - it doesn't work. I've replaced the bulb and still nothing. When I turn on the parking lights, the light goes on but thats a different filament. I think its a wiring issue, but I don't know where exactly. Everything looks ok by the headlight assembly (ie no burnt wires, everything seems connected).

Any ideas?

I had the same problem with mine, I used wd40 in the socket cleaned it with a Q tip and it started working fine. Might have been just luck, it didn't look to dirty but the Q tip was, I think I used a couple of them.

Sounds like the bulb connector is bad. Very, very easy to replace (also a very common repair). You can get the part at dealership or online (www.rockauto.com, www.gmpartsdirect.com).

I think GM has successfully proven that the use of the turn signals as the DRL are not a good idea. For sun on your next long trip, count how many GM vehicles you count that have one turn signal out.

After you repair the bulb connector, pull the fuse on the DRL. If you want DRL, turn on your headlights.

On my intrigue, after I pulled the DRL fuse, I placed bright aluminium strips (about 2 inches wide) around the front bumper area.
