Service VME - Front Turn Signal Bulb Inoperative At Times
2005 Chevrolet Corvette
The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in the PI.
SERVICE VME:
This is a service VME to all Chevrolet dealer regarding 2005 Corvettes with front turn signal bulbs that may be intermittently inoperative.
There have been field comments that the front turn signal bulbs may not illuminate. Dealers report the condition is intermittent and replacing the bulb does not correct the condition.
The root cause may be a loss of contact between the base of the bulb and socket. Bowling Green Assembly switched bulb suppliers from Wagner to Sylvania. The Sylvania bulbs operate at a significantly lower temperature which may increase bulb life. If a customer has a front turn signal bulb inoperative, the dealers should follow the procedure in SI and remove the bulb. The bulb should be checked for operation off of the vehicle using a 12 volt power source. If the bulb is found to be inoperative, replace the bulb using a Sylvania source. If the bulb is found to operate out of the socket then dealer should attempt to slightly pull the socket connectors forward to provide a better contact with the bulb. If after extending the socket contact forward and the bulb still does not operate Please contact Art Spong Brand Quality Manager at 586-947-8890. DO not order a replacement headlamp assembly before working with Art Spong.
A service harness is being prepared for SPO and should be available shortly.
Please follow this diagnosis process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
GM bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, NOT a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform these technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions, and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, DO NOT assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See your GM dealer for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.

Corvette Bob I sent you a PM on the DRL socket/terminal problem if that info is true
So I guess it will be up to the dealership should my DRL bulb fail again?
