I’m an original owner of a spec-ordered 1997 TJ Sport….146K on the clock. I live in New England…..winters are hell on cars up here…..and recently, I’ve started experiencing electrical gremlins. My turn signals (both left and right) do this intermittently. Investigating, I found that both of those sockets have worn down, to the point that the bulb doesn’t seat as tightly as it should. I have rigged them so that the signals work, but in heavy rain or snow, they frequently loosen or go out….simply not dependable. I had no idea that I could change the sockets out, figuring MOPAR probably doesn’t make these things for a 25 year old model anymore. Thank you, amigo….I’ll start a search for replacements…..to both you, and your helper, Zeus!

This was the most helpful tutorial I could find on the issue. The process worked even though I have a 2007 rubicon, fixed in 10 minutes thanks.

Thank you so much.. I just bought a whole new light set and bulbs. Lol, I didn't know I could just get bulbs.

Thanks brother, this fixed my TJ today. Exact same part, passenger side. Got the same part from Advanced Auto and it cost me double what yours did. But, my problem is fixed an that's what matters. Perfect video for this issue.

Oh my goodness, this was so helpful!! Thank you

Turn signal lamp socket. Ordered and fixed mine thanks

If your Jeeps having this problem one of the brake light housings has a ground that can just be cleaned sometimes that fixes the problem.

Great video fellow traveler. Thank you brother

Dam only video that had same problem as me! Saved me a lot of money from having to take it to electrican

Thank You!! I OWE YOU A COLD BEER

Just what I needed. Thanks to you and Zeus.

Job well done. I got the same problem with my jeep wrangler . Cant wait to work on it .Thanks

Thank you! Now I know it's time to take it our '17 to the dealer!

Nice video but I thought your not suppose to touch the light bulb with your fingers.😄

You just saved me a bunch of money

That was very helpful. Thank you

Thank you for this Excellent Video I'm in Canada could I get the part number for the socket replacement. Have 1997 TJ Jeep an so far No one can help me they say it's old good luck finding one... Hope your still on Utube many Thanks going your way....

I see a lot of light shining over that rear turn signal Brother.

So I know this is a ole video but last night my turning signal actually blew out my marker light clean out of the housing so now I got to replace the housing and the marker light hopefully this is the only problem is that little connection and don't ya think you ot to of replaces housing as well it was cracked could let water in

Thanx

Can you use a meter tester instead? This video may have solved my problem .. all bulbs work on mine change out the flasher reply twice but when I turn on my left signal my speedometer blinks as do all of lights on the outside (not headlights) my right side turn signal is good and so is my breaking lights .. thanks for any feedback and your time

What was the part number of the part you replaced? I believe I need the same part. Thank you!

I have the same problem with my 03 Wrangler TJ except it's the driver side rear tail light out. I pulled off the globe and the bulb is OK. There's no socket behind just wires that lead up to the front under the hood. Any idea how to fix this?

License plate bulb won't light on a 2012 jeep wrangler

Is that a square and compass emblem on the rear? Like mine?

I did all the above. New socket and bulb. No light at all.

What if the turning signal light is on but not flashing

Same process with a rear signal DOOLEY1216 ?

what's the name of that piece you replaced?

just found this video i have a 04 tj signals won't work, 4 ways do. any suggestions?

brother

What was this part called

In the interest of public content improvements, I'll state the obvious.. first, it's nonsensical to remove the turn signal unit, WHEN the bulb is right in the OPEN under the fender!? And second, this content could've been done in 1/2 the time. Oh, and please.. these one handed mechanic vids drive me mad, if you're going to be serious about this, spend $20 for a tripod so you can use your handS... otherwise, you did correctly diagnose and fixed the problem..
