Front Turn Signal Lamps Inoperative - Model Year 2003 & 2004

This is caused by inadequate electrical contact between the turn signal bulb socket and the headlamp housing.

I sympathize with you. My 02 coupe had this done under warranty late last year. The dealer used a new pigtail and wiring harness. I was told that this problem happens only on some cars if the original light socket was only slightly larger than it should be. The lamp and the socket start arcing and slowly burn out the harness. Both mine failed within days of each other. Even now my coupe only has 29,000 km on it.
Best of luck on the last one.

Im sorry where did this info come from? Is there something we need to show the dealer, or have them refer to so that this will be done? Thankyou.

the dealer already has access to this Technical Service Bulletin....
