Help with a Jeep TJ Wrangler turn signal problem?

If you have access to a test light take and test the socket to see if you have any power to the socket on the turn signal after removing the bulb if there is power you may have the bulb in wrong with the way the tabs on the bulb ore set up on the sides of it.Look at the tabs on the sides of the bulb and look down inside the socket to see the side grooves where the tabs go into.The one that is closet to the bottom of the bulb that is on the bulb goes into the deepest side if they are not equal grooves going into the socket then the only thing is that they would be even grooves and tabs for the bulb to go into.But take some fine sand paper and clean the sides and bottom of the socket and bulb and do some real cleaning but also use some electrical spray to remove any dirt or acid build up in the socket.And below the the contacts in the socket is a spring that makes the contact you see inside the socket push up to make the current or electricity make contact with the bottom of the bulb contacts.If you find that you still don't have any power to the socket check for a ground side wire that is not grounded to some metal this makes a complete circuit to operate the the turn signal bulb to work.If you have any questions on this just email me at hgm20002000@yahoo.com
