Default 98 t/a front passenger side blinker

Ok so the other night i was driving and my right blinker wasnt working. I pulled over and was messing with the lights turning them all on and off, and the front right park/blinker light, was stuttering off/on, and eventually stayed off. Went and got the light to change it and the old light looks very corroded, the plug did to a little, so i cleaned it up a little and put the new light in, and!.... still not working.

Has any1 else had this problem? or should i just buy a new plug and wire it in.

had this problem and it was my plug. put a new one in and its been working ever since. if none of your other lights are doing this then i would think it was in the bulb or the plug and since you've already eliminated the bulb..

If you search, you should be able to find the right thread. No need to change the plug. You can buy a new socket insert from Mouser Electronics, save a ton of money, and skip splicing in a new socket assembly.
