(Sorry I don't know how to edit my post)
The front right TURN socket was replaced in May 2016, It was just "replaced" (needing replacement because it was "completely corroded") yesterday. (End of July 2017)
Sorry if not using correct term for the socket assembly, I know next to nothing about cars.
Hello,
The vehicle is a 2002 Buick Lesabre, just over 200,000km on it. I just had the entire turn signal assembly socket replaced in May of last year, I was told it was completely corroded.
I took the vehicle in for an oil change and to replace the bulb in the front right turn signal, went to pick it up the next day and they said they had to replace the entire front right socket because it was completely corroded.
A little frustrated at checkout, trying to recall if I had the front right signal, or the front right bulb socket replaced last time I was there. I knew it was one of the two but couldn't remember which one, so I payed ($200) and went home to look at my service from last year. Sure enough, it was in fact the front right socket.
So I guess my question is... is there something that would cause the socket to corrode over 1 year to the point of needing replacement of the entire assembly? (The vehicle is stored in a garage year round if that matters, but used almost daily) or am I being scammed? They never even called to tell me the assembly needed to be replaced before doing the work, I can change the bulb myself but it needed an oil change and the signal was out too, so figured I'd just have them do it while it was there. Now I'm kicking myself in the back for not doing the bulb myself to see what kind of shape the socket was actually in before I brought it in. Thanks for the help.
