Thanks for the video! Sounds like the same issue with my Hyundai 😂 so far so good after scraping the connections. Hopefully this fix lasts for you too! 😊

You're welcome and thank you for tuning in. It is the same issue. I don't remember if we put the grease on your bulbs or not. If we didn't, it will need to be done at some point.

I found the problem in my 2002 express cargo van was the chassis ground connection on the driver side rear, on the interior metal support by the back door hinge. I scratched the paint off, and now it has a better connection to ground. No issues since.

That makes a lot of sense. Bad ground will increase amperage and cause a weak connection at the bulb.

Same on my 2019. Recently, I pulled the bulb and inspected it and sure enough, the connection in the bulb is still intact. Will look into an LED replacement and see it that fixes the design flaw.

Thanks for tuning in! Please let me know if LED resolves the issue. I am still having this problem, but far less frequently now that I cleaned the contacts.

@@NorthCoastT I put the LED’s in yesterday. They work but they don’t make the rapid blinking go away. I’ll have to get used to it. I’m 100% sure they’ll hold up tho.

I had the same, or similar, problem with my 2000 Express. When the indicator started flashing faster it would also go dimmer to the brightness of the running lights instead of the signal lights. Eventually I took the socket apart and spread apart all the tabs that held the connectors in the socket. One of the connectors I pulled out of alignment and wedged it tight with part of a toothpick and it has been working fine ever since; probably over 2 years now. I don't think it's oxidization I think it is the manufacturing process with the light socket and the way the wires and connectors sit in it. Every time you play with it it works for a while till the connection fails.

Thank you for checking out my video and commenting. I think you may be right, I just had to mess with the driver side rear bulb again on Monday. I couldn't get the bulb to work even though it didn't look blown. I put in a new bulb and it worked immediately. I will x Check the tabs closer next time I have it apart.

I’m dealing with this right now on my 2012 Chevy Express work van. I’ve replaced bulbs every 6 months it seems and now I’ve replaced the bulb and still doing the same thing. I’m about to run out and try scrapping up the connectors. I’ll let you know the results.
@NorthCoastT
@NorthCoastT 6 месяцев назад
I hope it works for you! I still have to replace the bulbs more often than I should, but now lasts about a year before they cut out again.

going to try the scratching up the connectors next time, di-electric grease alone with just the bulbs didn’t help the problem, I keep 2 spare bulbs and grease in my van at all times, I change them about every three or four months at this point

Thanks for tuning in. I am very hopeful this time because they have been working well ever since this fix.

My work van did the exact same issue today. Right rear turn signal not working, nor right rear brake light not working. I thought it was the bulb, it clearly wasn't since no bulb would work. The socket itself didn't look oxidized to me, but I was working in the dark and trying to quickly fix it before going to work the next day. If the bulbs are not the problem, why are you replacing them? If it's the connector, get replacement connectors if the oxidation can't be fixed.
@NorthCoastT
@NorthCoastT 10 месяцев назад
Thank you for tuning in! I changed the bulbs because I had them and was in there. I since used a tiny file and cleaned the oxidation off to get it working. Seems to happen every so often.

This problem has been going on since at least 1993, I always carried the tools and spare bulbs in my 1500 pickup. Why did they replace the 1157 bulbs that worked for 50 years?
@NorthCoastT
@NorthCoastT 5 месяцев назад
Planned obsolescence! They want things to fail so the average person will take it back to the dealership. I think they went overboard with the short lifespan of these bulbs.

Get used to it my friend. My 2008 has been doing the same since the day I bought it.

That is kinda funny, but not enough weight to damage the wires.

Thanks for tuning in! You most likely have to rough up the tabs under the bulb, they get tarnished or something similar that prevents connectivity.
