This picture was taken last year. We needed to have the windshield replaced. Not sure what his name was? But you can see the headlights on this car. Well about five or six months ago, the passage side headlight burnt out. So I just unplugged it and replaced it with a new one. Well it seams the light goes out every once and while. So I twist it around in the housing. It works for a couple of days and then stops. The sad part was I was thinking it was a bad connection. Which it was, BUT I didn't think it was this bad??
I took the bulb out and found the socket itself was burnt and melted. Wow that could cause a fire??
Okay, now what do I do. I drove over to Advance Auto and showed the guy there the part and what vehicle it came off of. He told me, sure he has those. Thinking, why? He was telling me, he sells these sockets all the time. I even talked to Jeanne's mechanic (Damien) I showed him the burnt socket, he laughed and said, he has a couple of spared ones in back. This was a week or so after I replaced it.
Got the part and tried to put it in. the wires on the wire harness were short. Which you can see the next picture about a customer replacing his.
I just got two wire connectors and got my hands in as far as I could and made it happen.
The wires were way to short for the area you are working in. Maybe if I took the headlight assembly out it might have been easier?
But in the end it works and very happy we didn't have a fire because the socket.
Folks I really hope and pray you are getting out an just enjoying this beautiful weather we are having here in Fort Pierce. Today Jeanne and I will be going to the Farmer's Market. Looking forward in having some fun. My little girl has been working very hard on putting in grades for her students and trying to help them get a passing grade at the end. That means for her to talk with parents and guardians about their grades. The second semester is ending this week. Plus Spring stars today too.
That is correct, my baby has off this next week and prayerfully we will have some fun during this time.
I know she wants to go out in the boat and just do some fishing.
