97 wrangler..help please!
Hi!
I need a new socket (dealership calls it a 'pigtail') for the right front
turn signal/park light. I have cleaned this thing repeatedly, and now i
just guess there's not enough contact left to make a good connection.
Nothing available at the dealership, unless I want to fork out lots of bucks
for a HARNESS!! Any suggestions? I thought about trying something generic
if available from autozone or somewhere, but I really don't want to have to
modify the plastic the plug connects into... thanks!

Check the "Help" section of Autozone, Pepboys, etc. They might have
something close (or with parts you can salvage)
Other possibility is call the junk yards for a wrangler that got
burned/flooded/rolled or otherwise is nearly junk. That way they
won't charge so much and let you cut the bit you need out of the
harness.

Re: 97 wrangler..help please!
Thanks! I'll definitely try the autozone, etc. part. I wish I had a good
junk yard close by that had jeeps. The only one near me is over an hour
away.....but i will try that if I have to.
