sounds like a bad connection in the plug to me, turn the light on and reach back there and wiggle the wire harness for the bulb in question, if it goes on/off as you wiggle it then id suggest replacing the wire

while you're there, why not change out the lightbulbs? Replace with Silver Stars.

LOL, that seems to happen to all of us lately!!! Looks like we are starting off 2010 with some quirks!

Still waiting for site moderator to move my post out of no man's land and into this 1st gen forum!

Other than that, I agree with shrp, check your wiring harness to the driver side light, wiggle it, play with it while it is on to see if there is a break in the harness or wiring somewhere.

That's a 5 yard (I mean drink) penalty!



Sounds like a corroded plug as Sharps is saying.
