amber corner light problem

Raymen214479 · Oct 14, 2013

When I turn on all of my lights at night my right front corner light doesn't stay on. It does turn on when I put my blinker but it doesn't stay on. Any suggestions? I did change the bulb already and changed the light bulb harness to a new one. I did check the fuses but none of them seemed burnt. I have a 98 accord sedan lx 4 cil.

Turn on your parking lights and take a multimeter or circuit tester and see if you have power on the red wire lead on the turn signal harness/socket.

green - turn signal
black - ground
red - parking light

Just went through this, I tried two different filament bulbs and two LED bulbs and with each one my parking light would not stay on consistently, but turn signal and hazard worked. Turned out that the contacts inside the harness plug were not making contact consistently with the bulb leads. So I just bent the contacts upward, put a bulb in, and it’s worked ever since.

I don't think this needs to be in the urgent section btw.
