woody Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Hello All, I replaced the 2 rear bulbs and I still get the rapid blinking. Any ideas? Thanks, Woody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimD Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Burned or corroded sockets, corroded or broken chassis ground connection for starters. Jim Drive your car. Use your cell phone. CHOOSE ONE ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I can't recall anyone reporting anything else, assuming it was one side only that was originally bad. Regards, Warren There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved. - Ludwig von Mises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlamingGoatBalls Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Had the same problem. Most likely your socket not grounding. They can be replaced at most auto stores for around $12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winterset Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 did you check the front bulbs? (not the cornering light) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonA Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 I had to replace the rear bulb sockets on my Seville. I understand it's a common problem with 92-97 Sevilles, but I never had issues until recently (last year). I bought four bulb sockets as I recall, and replaced both of the dual filament sockets on each side (in the decklid).

SOCKETS. IT IS A CHEVROLET REPLACEMENT PART BUT FOR SOME REASON IS A BETTER BUILT SOCKET. YOU WILL NEED FOUR. REPLACE ALL FOUR OF YOUR REAR TWO FILAMENT BULBS . THIS WILL SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM . AT CAD. DEALER THEY WILL TRY AND SELL YOU A WHOLE NEW WIRE ASSEMBLY . DO NOT BUY IT , IT IS JUST LIKE THE PIECE OF CRAP THAT CAME WITH THE CAR. THEY SHORT OUT INSIDE THE SOCKET. WHEN YOU PULL THE BULB OUT YOU SHOULD SEE A DARK BROWN PLACE OR TWO DOWN IN THE SOCKET THIS IS WHERE IT IS SHORTING OUT INSIDE THE SOCKET. I HAVE THE BEEN THEIR DONE THAT T SHIRT ON THIS ISSUE. MINE ON MY 96 HAVE NOW BEEN FIXED FOR OVER TWO YEARS. GOOD LUCK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevyorange Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Ordered 3 of PN 15306194 and it cured the "fast blink" on the left side. Now, I just have to figure out why the turn signals light up different lights on each side. I think I'm gonna order 3 more and re-do the right side later this summer.
