2000 GCL turn signal problems
I am having trouble with my left rear turn signal. I checked the bulb, bulb is fine, checked by replacing rear light assembly, not the problem, got new turn signal switch, not the problem. Any ideas?

I'm sorry, it is the left rear turn signal. I checked the plug thinking it might be a loose/broken wire but it seems fine.

Old fart with a wrench
Okay, here's something to check. Sometimes the socket will melt and the contacts not make connections. Take the socket out and see if the contacts have sunken into the plastic. This can be repaired by bending the contacts back out and putting something underneath them, like a matchbook cover. This is a known problem with jeeps that sit in traffic with the brake lights on. Mopar decided it wasn't worth the expense of molding them in high temperature material.
