    Hello All,

    I have a 04 GTP CompG with 100,600 on the clock. Just a weird question for you all. Has anyone had problems with their passenger side running light. It's burnt out twice now in a very short period of time. I've noticed it burns out when its raining....

    I did put new headlight and fog/running light assemblies in. I wonder if there may be more space in between some where causing rain to get in and short it? That's the only issue.

    Should I just use electrical tape and tape up all the wires down there? The bummer cover seems to be in place correctly.

    Any Ideas?

    Thanks!

    I should also mention, its just the blinker part of the light. The actual filament that stays on when the car is on, is fine. Is there such thing as a blinker fuse that could be popping?

    all blinkers are ran off 1 fuse. So if the others work, then its either the bulb socket or the bulb itself.

    I figured it out today after the weather dried up a bit. The wire harness that goes to the fog is a little bit loose, thus causing the blinker part of the bulb to not work. I jiggled it a bit and now it works again. =) I'll just order a new wire harness, I doubt its that expensive. It isn't very long.

    Now lets see if I can just buy the harness. From the parts lists I've been looking at, it doesn't look like its possible. It has to be the wire harness. It tripped again when I was leaving work tonight. Its just the blinker wires on that set of wires. Weird.
