[DML] Re: Turn Signals

[Peter Lucas <lucas@xxxx>]

In all likelihood, this problem is due to dirty and/or corroded bulb 
sockets and/or connectors. I had this problem, which manifested 
itself only in wet weather. The solution: clean, clean, clean.

Start with the bulb sockets, since they are the easiest. Use tuner 
cleaner, fine sandpaper, ink erasers, etc. One tip: there is a little 
wire-brush wheel accessory for the Dremmel tool that fits perfectly 
into the bulb sockets. Works wonders. Clean or replace the bulbs, too.

If that doesn't fix it, start cleaning harness connectors. There are 
the ones under the dash, and the ones up front by the bulbs. There is 
also one under the left front fender that you have to remove the 
windshield washer reservoir cover to get to. (As an aside, if you 
haven't removed this cover recently, best to spray some liquid wrench 
on the bolts the night before. It's hell if you strip those rivnuts. 
Also, make sure the drain holes at the bottom of the cover are clear, 
else you will soon have a rusted-up washer pump.)
