Default Evacuated for Katrina need some C5 help

Ok,, I know this minor,, but we evacuated on Sunday with only my wife's car and the C5.. Our home is flooded and the National Guard won't let us return. We will be living in a camper for an extended period until we can rebuild. Yesterday a rearended my wife's car while we were traveling to get info on our home. So her car is now in the shop for repairs. The shop is closed due to no employees and all power is out. They will work on our car as their #1 priority to return but don't know when they will start. I have lost my computer and all my C5 info. So I know this is a minor question,, but I have to drive the C5 due to my wife's car being out of action and don't have time to search.

My right front turn signal light is out,, I know we have published how to get to it,, but I really don't have time to search,, I am trying to coordinate rebuild of our subdivision and home. So if someone can make a quick replay,, thanks I'll check later. 99 Nassau Blue,, but the Real Jim & Bev.

Thanks to all. I know the bulb is a really small blip on the radar screen now,, but the last thing I need is an accident from a defective turn signal. Our other car was rearended when we evacuated so we are down to 1 car the C5.

Good/bad news.. Our home apparently (we haven't seen it yet) had only 3 ft of water, and is unliveable,, but it is still there. That's the good news. The bad news is our neighbor and his son haven't been seen since they left the house on Monday during the storm. He is a dr and was going to medical ctr. and hasn't been heard from since he left.

Hopefully he made it to ctr and is still busy.

So a special thank you to all who helped. I quickly pulled the bulb with the instructions. Happy driving and please conserve gas so the rescue boats will have fuel. Jim

There is a possible shortcut. You can push the brake duct hose back and access the bulb through that opening. I have seen it done. Hope all turns out well.
