09 Parking Light Trouble

Looking for some advice...

I noticed that my 09 passenger side front parking light was out a few weeks ago. I purchased a new bulb and went to switch it out. When I checked out the old bulb, it looked ok. I plugged it back in and it still worked when I turned the lights on.

A week or so later, the light was out again. I got it to go back on by just tapping on the headlight assembly. Then it was fine for a while.

That was happening more and more so I put the new bulb in anyways. It is still happening.

Thoughts? Loose wire maybe? As far as I can tell, it looks ok.

I dont know, it is kind of annoying. Anyone else had this problem? All other bulbs and fuses are ok. I would rather not take it in to the shop for something like this.

 

(bump) Anyone?

 

Connection in the harness. Possibly where the harness plugs into the bulb socket.

It can be a bit of a pain to separate, but get it apart (take your time) and put some tune-up grease on the pins.

 

Thanks Rich!

That seemed to do the trick. So far, so good anyways...
