The KJ is eating passenger rear turn signal bulbs, now they last only about 2-3 months on average. I'm sorta at a loss for why...it's all stock, ie never spliced into it for trailer wiring, etc....

Thanks!

means bad electrical connection. replace a socket or inspect wires. I had the same problem, rusted contacts in bulb socket was a reason.

you can switch the reverse socket for one of the others on that side, and if the problem follows, you know it is the swithc

I had my tail light on my passenger side not work, but the brake light did, I replaced bulbs still did not work, so i then swithced the tail/brake light socket with the reverse socket, and all was fine since the reverse only needs the full/high voltage, where as the brake/tail light needs both low and high voltage in it,

i did not replace mine since I got it to work, but if it stops again, I will replace them, they are only a couple of bucks
