Blinker constantly popping in and out of socket

[MafiaAmor]

So I don't know if anyone else has this problem.

But I'll put my blinker bulb and the casing into the socket as it should, if fits snug in there..

I'll be driving and all of the sudden it has popped out!

It does this whenever it wants too and it's going to be a bad thing once snow hits.

Didn't know if this was a common problem, I don't want to rig it with tape if I don't have too.

I've tried bending the prongs down so they push less on the bulb, that didn't work, just pops out over and over...even when I'm just sitting there it pops out.

I'd like to avoid a fix it ticket haha.

Just seeing if anyone has had the same problem and what did they do to fix it?

It needs to be inserted then "rotated" into "hold" position.

You are rotating it, correct?

Yeah I'm rotating it, you know how that black ring "thingy" goes around the bulb then it all goes in the socket.

Well it pops out while in the socket, it doesn't pop out of the black ring.

It's really the most annoying problem with the car and it's such a little obstacle.

For my left front blinker the socket holder is slightly melted so the bulb socket doesn't fit in so tightly. But it blinks well enough to tell people when I'm turning left!

Maybe some blinker fluid would help it stay in there?:mafia

Mine did the same thing. You'll need another #3. About $15 at the dealer.
