Help: Wiring problems?
I just changed the turn signal lamp and now the front right turn signal is not working and when i flip on the turn signal its double-timing. I think this is a grounding issue but am not sure. The parking light still works but will not flash...is this a typical corvette problem? Thanks

If the bulb blew immediately you may have a corroded bulb holder. The lenses are known to crack due to the heat of the DRLs. Water then gets in and causes the bulb to fail. Try pulling the light unit and inspect for cracks. if you find corrosion or charring clean it up and seal the light unit before you reinstall.

how do you go about sealing the unit? I noticed when I pulled out the old lamp that it had some sort of grease on the plug end of it, but did not pay much attention to it. Thanks for the help
