  • Taillight Keeps going out!! Help!

    I have a problem with my right hand taillight. It sometimes decides to work , and other times it does not. I notice this because when i use my turn signal, it does not blink beacuse the light is out. One night it was not working, then the next morning it worked fine. I take off the taillight and move the bulb and fix it. I even shake the whole taillight very much to see if i can get it to go out, and it doesn't. Then after driving about a mile, it goes out. Something is makeing it go not, anyone know what it can be or what i can do to fix it. I recently hit a rather large pot hole, don't know if that would cause anything. That is when i noticed it first happening. Hope you guys can help.

    Try to just get some new bulbs to put in and use some dielectric grease when you put them in.
    The bulb might be getting hot and not working... only thing I can think of.

    unless it is not the bulb that stops working and its the actual blinker thing under the dash.

        Did you put dielectric grease on it?
        That stuff helps from the bulb burning out in the future... even use it in my spark plug boots [img]smile.gif[/img]
