Default Rear light socket

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can buy a light socket for the rear lights, brakes. Chrysler no longer have parts for a 2015 Crossfire. My light bulb indicator stays on and as soon as I replace that bulb, it goes out.

Thanks,

Cheryl

/?????????????????
Why can't you replace the bulb then?
The old socket will have a part number on it and probably the maker. What is wrong with the socket?

I have several times! It's the brake light that's not working. And Chrysler is saying that my 2005 Crossfire is obsolete. I have replaced several bulbs. So mechanics are telling me that it must be my socket.

What bulb are you using, many have had problems usingpg the wrong bulb. I am not say ing that is the cause but you never know.
What you are saying is the dash light goes out when a new bulb is inserted and then the bulb burns out and the dash light returns. How long before the bulb burns out?

Yeah that is what I am saying. I'll drive down the street and then all of a sudden the light indicator comes on and my left rear brake light is burned out. Whenever I apply the brakes. But the light is still there! But not the brake light. Does that make sense???? What does that sound like to you? Maybe wiring??? I don't know!

Thanks,

Cheryl

Check voltage, maybe your regulator is putting out too much. Brake lights burn the brightest, maybe it is just too much for it.

So why not the other bulb? Or for that matter any other bulb on the car?
I'll ask the poster again what bulb are you replacing it with, part number and make?
Is the filament obviously burnt out, black inside the bulb or what?

e, maybe it is better tolerance, different brand. What I would do is switch them, and see if the same bulb, or the same side burns out. If the mount isn't solid, it could even be vibration killing the bulb. (I doubt it, but who knows)

Did anyone ever get the part number for the taillight bulb socket?
I went to replace the bulb the socket was so brittle a piece broke off now the bulb won't sit right.

Thank you so much for all the replies but my 2005 Crossfire got totaled so now I have a 2004 Crossfire that is better than the 2005 Crossfire. It has the original wheels and everything works! But the BAS/ESP light comes on sometimes. Do I need to be concerned?
