So ill just get to it since im new here. my left front turn signal i went to replace turns out the socket is actually bad as well,it was wet in there you can see it shorted . switched out the other socket to that connection and it works fine so it only the socket that needs replacing, problem is i cant find one anywhere...??.
went to all the auto parts stores around here and junkyards and couldnt find any....also all th either cherokees i saw only have 1 bulb for th efront turn where as the 2000 has 2.
anyone bless me with the knowledge to find such a part or will i need to got to a dealer...or rather replace more than just the socket?
thanks
frustratedly happy

 

anyone got anything...couldnt find help searching the forums...which wasnt easy to be honest



this is my first jeep by the way

 

I have a 2001 with the same issue. my front pass side had water in it and one of the socket tabs rusted off. I went to the dealership to buy two new sockets but they thought the sockets would come with the turn signal lamp, so i ordered it all but when i went to pick it up it was only the lamp(no sockets or bulbs like they thought) So they said i would have to get the whole wire harness to get the sockets. I didn't even ask how much lol. so now it looks like i'll try the local junk yards for a half way decent set of sockets.

 

if I have a problem like that, I take the part to my local NAPA store. I go to an attendent I know well and ask if he can perform a miracle for me.

 

I have the same problem.

I have a 1999 Cherokee Sport, just got it. It has the same problem on the right side front parking light where both sockets have a tab rusted out and any new bulb will not work. Both sockets need replacing. I tried the internet, Napa, Auto Zone, Advanced Auto, Orileys and a large junk yard and not finding a replacement. I am trying more junk yards and the Jeep dealer. I figure the dealer will have to sell a full harness if they still can get it.

 

I checked the local Jeep dealership and they found the parking light socket to be part of a front end wiring harness which they could get for about $450. Ouch...that won't work.

 

I had a similar problem but with a honda prelude, the socket ended up being fine, just pour coke on the terminals I guess you would call it , to have a clean contact, then test to make sure it works. Then find the crack/leak and use clear silicone or somthing similar to seal it up. Other than that, I have no clue?

 

BINGO!!! I have everyone's answer. This socket fits 1998-2001 (maybe other years) Jeep Cherokees front turn signals where each signal lamp has two sockets. This is a 3 wire socket with the number 95023L stamped on the plastic and is made by Chrysler. I tried advanced auto, autozone, Orileys, NAPA, the Jeep dealership, and about 300 internet sites with no luck untill I talked with Chris at CarQuest in Columbia SC. He found it and it is Car Quest part number 57-4860 Socket Assembly and costs about $11. Apparently it fits some other crysler vehicles from 1994-2002. Cheers!
