Blinker lamp blows weekly

[nh9095]

05 Cayenne w/ standard headlamps(not HID's). Driver side turn signal went out about 6 months ago and was replaced. It then went out about a month ago and was replaced and then went out a week later. I figured I'd gotten a bad bulb so I replaced again. Then it went for about another week and blew another bulb. This time I did not replace right away. Several days later the blinker worked for 1/2 day of running around town but that afternoon it stopped working again and has remained out. This makes me think something is wrong w/ the actual headlamp assembly. Car is under warranty for about 2 more months so I'll get it checked out but any one else had this problem??

Are you sure the bulb has actually failed each time? There is a know problem with the bulb sockets having poor contact areas.

wvicary got it right IMHO.

at first i thought the bulbs were blowing but after leaving the one in and it coming back on a day later I believe they were not actually blown. Should this be covered under warranty? thanks guys

MY 05 under warranty? Guess not.

I wouldn't think warranty would cover this fault. Purchase the newest version of the bulb and socket at your local dealer or from Sunset Imports parts and replace the parts. I myself wouldn't bother with the agro in dealing with a warranty claim on such a inexpensive and easy to replace item.
