Car Forum / Oldsmobile Cars / July 20061998 Intrigue Turn signal problem
Hi,anyone else have a problem with the yellow turn signal bulb? only with the left one for me,i've put in 3 new ones already and need another now.could i use a different bulb,because these are expensive.I'm also thinking maybe its the wiring or someting.any ideas?thanks,Nick This is not to insult your intelligence, but have you double checked to ensure that you are using the correct replacement bulb? The service manual says that you should be using a 4157NAK. > Hi,anyone else have a problem with the yellow turn signal bulb? only with > the left one for me,i've put in 3 new ones already and need another > now.could i use a different bulb,because these are expensive.I'm also > thinking maybe its the wiring or someting.any ideas?thanks,Nick Turns out its's the dope's at Carquest,they kept selling me the wrong bulb.apparently these take the 4157 NA Long Life bulb.thanks for the help > This is not to insult your intelligence, but have you double checked to > ensure that you are using the correct replacement bulb?

I have heard of many people having this trouble with this type of bulb. Tried cleaning up the socket and it just burnt again after a few months. $30 to replace the socket is the only way to fix it. I did find how to prevent it though. The dealer finally told my friend with a Buick Century after he replaced his socket 3 times that he should use some dielectric grease on the bulb and he hasn't had any trouble since. This issue may be moisture related. > Turns out its's the dope's at Carquest,they kept selling me the wrong > bulb.apparently these take the 4157 NA Long Life bulb.thanks for the help [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >>> now.could i use a different bulb,because these are expensive.I'm also >>> thinking maybe its the wiring or someting.any ideas?thanks,Nick |
