Sidemarkers...

I recently replaced my front left sidemarker lightbulb, because it was out. After I replaced it, the light worked fine, but now all of the sudden it does not work anymore. Anything in the wiring that I should know about? These sidemarkers seem to be rather flaky, as the right one was out, then back on when I replaced the left one, but now the left is out and the right is still on, etc., etc.

^^^Confusing, but help would be appreciated.

If your talking about the side marker lights, the contacts get corrosion and need to be cleaned. The side lights use those little peanut bulbs.

Yeh, like I said, I replaced one and it worked, but then went out again within a week. I'll try cleaning the contacts.
