Subject:Re: Turn Signal, But No Parking Light

Thanks, all, for the prompt replies.  I didn't realize it was a dual
filament bulb, but I'm sure you guys are right (currently away from my van).
But, since it's been an intermittent problem, I don't think it's the bulb.
A few have suggested that it's a poor/corroded contact, so I'm thinking that
could be the problem.  Makes sense.  I'll check it out.

Thanks,

James
