I bought a 2003 Buick lesabre from a guy, it runs ok now, but one thing that irks me is the right park light does not come on, but the right turn signal works just fine. I went to Walmart to get the bulb replaced and that wasn't the problem, I had a guy check the fuse today and that wasn't the problem. If it is a wire that has rusted out or something, or maybe something electrical. how expensive would that be? Anybody have any suggestions on what is wrong?

 

 

In addition to what Rich suggested, sometimes a simple test light can help isolate where the possible break in the wiring might be, keeping in mind a poor ground connection could also get into the picture. Depending on how much you want to get into it which a this time I believe you are just looking for an answer and that will depend on what testing is performed .

 

SO I went to a mechanic and got the park light fixed, they had to put in a new socket. The light comes on, but it is a lot dimmer than the one on the driver side. Such a small problem but so annoying to me. I've been told to" clean the ground connection for right park light" but where would that be?

Okay, I am about to give up on this, I got the light fixed back in March, the shop had to replace a socket. Now I think the light has stopped working again after that expensive repair. Once again the turn signals work fine, but the front park light does not come on. It just looks corny to have one light working. At this point would rather just have the other park light disconnected if I can do that without it affecting the turn signals or any lights in the back.

 

I just inherited my grandmother's 1998 century and it has been to several shops for this issue and no one has been able to diagnose it. It has a brand new bulb and socket in it. Power to the plug for the socket. Put in a new bulb and it will work for roughly 20 to 30 seconds and go out. Turn signal side of the bulb works fine. And its working as it should on the passenger side. I'm a technician and pretty experienced in electrical systems but I'm really scratching my head on this one. Can't see any sign of any wiring getting hot or having any damage. The harness is still in tact and has never been opened up as far as I can tell. But from what I understand she had some really questionable shops working on it. They drilled a 1 1/4" hole in the lower side of the dash under the steering column. And they removed the lower cover peice and didn't reinstall it. They also put rubber hose on the deteriorated portions of her brake lines. So I was thinking that they may have caused this issue, however from what I have been reading it seems to be pretty common but no one seems to have an answer for the issue. Any help or advice would be thoroughly appreciated! Thank you in advance.
