I have a 2009 Cobalt and my front blinker isn't working. Took it in and there's a lot of corrosion on the socket the bulb plugs into. I can't find a replacement pigtail and socket anywhere. I called a few dealerships and all they can offer is the full harness which would cost $350. Does anybody have any suggestions on where I can find just the pigtail and socket? The bulb is 3457 and I've had no luck so far.

I may have a full harness I can sell you.
What's it worth to you?

tjdavis1988

I doubt I'd be willing to offer what is really worth since I only need the pigtail and socket. Are you willing to just sell that by itself?

Did you replace the bulb to see if it is bad?

Give me a call tomorrow with your VIN, lets see if we can find something for you,
A pic of the socket may help as well.

Not to sound like an ass but have you tried replacing the bulb?

tjdavis1988

To those asking if I've tried replacing the bulb, yes I took it in for an oil change and asked them to replace the bulb since it's difficult to get the assembly out by myself. They're the ones that told me it was corroded and needed to be replaced.

Yeah I wouldn't trust their diagnosis. The headlight is held in by two bolts. DIY.

I got the two bolts out but I just couldn't pull the damn thing. Granted a tried doing it in the dark but that's beside the point. They didn't charge me for the labor it took to take it out and they said they spent awhile trying to clean it so it didn't sound like they were trying to put one over on me. Plus they didn't have the part so they didn't have anything to gain by lying. I don't know enough about it to know if I can find the right part online so if someone can find the right one, I'd really be thankful.

I'd test it with a multimeter before I went replacing harnesses. It could be something as simple as a fuse or relay...

Pull the light forward first then pry it out from the fender side first. Be careful or you'll end up like me with a broken tab...the whole assembly is cheap plastic.

Just a helpfull hint in getting the headlight out.

Pop the plastic push pins out on the grill closest to the headlight it gives you leway to turn it out of the holder. It's tight but it will come. First time is the hardest.

If a bulb didn't fix it they are probably right about corrosion. Try some clr hah.

But yes I would test for voltage with a multimeter before buying harnesses. It's unlikely it's a fuse or relay if it's just the one bulb.

No I wouldn't sell just the socket.
$15 shipped for it.
Does every light on the headlight so you will have all new sockets.

[IMG][/IMG]stupid set up, they don't service the socket, I tired working it backwards the only other car I see they service the socket is for is the Camaro, that socket is # 92227778 but no way of knowing if that socket will fit your lamp.
