Front turn signal issue
Anyone ever have to replace the front turn signal socket? I can't find anywhere that sells the part except for GM, and GM only sells it with the lens as a complete assemble for about $225. Kind of steep for what should be a $10 fix.
So far I have not had any luck at a junk yard either.
I had the moisture in the headlamp issue and so I caulked around the seal (between the lens and back half of the assemble). When I put the bulb back in, it would not work. A new bulb did not solve the problem. It does work intermittently, so there is obviously a short somewhere. I tried cleaning the contacts, and of course broke a few of the small plastic tabs.
The turn signal socket has 5 wires. Most sockets on line show only 3 or 4 wires (not 5).
I searched on line and various forums. A few people had the problem, but no one posted a solution.
Thanks!

Did you change the blinker fluid? Jk sorry had to say that. Yea you can only really buy the full headlight harness not just the socket unfortunately. At least that's all I've heard.

Base_waves - I just sent you a PM for more details.
rrob - the bulb is 3457 (amber), and all the sockets shown on-line for 3157, etc., all have 3 wires. I need one with 5 wires.
Thanks for the info.
