1996 daylights and signal

MaxPower1971 · #1 08-09-2008, 07:45 AM

My mom owns a 1996 Grand caravan LE with a 3.8l.

Front driver side daylight/signal bulb keeps blowing out...sometimes shattered in the casing....Changed connector and about a zillion bulbs....I noticed a lot of those on the road the past few years and most of them had the same driving light burned out.

Oh BTW it's a canadian model.

Thanx guys!!

Find out if you van is over charging, and if that is good 14.2 volts normal. when you are changing bulbs are you using gloves or fingers tips? Because the acid from your fingers will shorted the life of the bulb.

Voltage 14.1

We always wear surgical gloves when changing any bulbs.

This cannot be an isolated problem as I have seen countless of them on the road and 8 out of 10 had the same light burnt.And it burns almost instantly...2 or 3 signals into it it just goes dead.

Any other ideas??
