Default Corner light problem...

to my dissatisfaction...

some water got into my corner lens and blew out my light... i went to replace the bulb and it doesn't work... i think the water shorted out the light (drivers side). all other lights (passenger side and both rear turn signal lights work)

any ideas?

are there any fuses in the engine bay or any ideas how to fix it... there are no blown fuses in the fuse pannel under the steering wheel.

help is MUCH appreciated

Yeah there are fuses in the engine bay...there's a black box on the passenger side against the fender/firewall...i don't know if any would relate to your turn signals however......maybe...can't remember.....another thing to check is, are you sure the bulb you're using to replace to old one with is not burned also? Just make sure. Also, if you have a test light use that to see if there's power in the light socket. If there's not. it pretty much has to be a fuse or you're trying to replace it with another burned bulb. If you can't tell if the bulb is burned look at the filament inside to see if it's intact. Sorry in case you know some of this shit already. Just tryin' to help.

Be sure to get all of the moisture out of the lens & sockets before trying new blubs & fuses, etc. Otherwise you'll keep blowing lamps and/or fuses.

If you've got aftermarket "clear" corner-lamps, you may need to re-seal them with additional clear silicone sealant.
