Re: 1998 Intrigue Turn signal problem
| Erick Ondich | 08 Jul 2006 04:40 |
I know my 2000 Intrigue was burning up the bulb bases on one side and I needed to replace the socket. 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.

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.
