That bulb/wire may have been for one of those red marker lights on the side of the car. If it got all full of slush it may have shorted something else, and those other two items may be in the same circuit that is now shorted out.

SOURCE: Turn signal left front won't flah

I dealt with a similar problem on an 01 Alero (very similar car) and found that the wire that grounds the signal filament of the bulb was broken inside the harness. I tapped into it and grounded it to the chassis and resolved the problem. It's no guarantee but if you have a multimeter, check each wire's continuity to ground as well as the impedance between each of the wires on the harness, on both front signals (for comparison purposes), and it'll show you if you have a problem such as the one I dealt with.

SOURCE: drivers side transaxle slides about 2 inches into

If the whole wheel assembly slides in and out then the CV joint is most likely NOT the problem. There is supposed to be play in the axles for when you turn the steering wheel. I would be looking at the ball joints or control arms or the hub bearings. Since the wheel is mounted to the spindle and it in turn is mounted to the control arms, and the only movement allowed when it is all put together and proper is the wheels turning from side to side for a left or right turn.

Your CV axle is a shaft that has a Constant Velocity joint ( hence the name CV axle) at each end and is inserted into the transmission and held in place by a snap ring and has a spline shaft at the wheel end that is held in place by the axle nut.

Testimonial: "thanx for the info. I knew most of this. but.. where the cv joint it self fits into the "cup?" that slides 2-3 inches in this unit. i will check the c"

My bmw 320i passenger brake light does not work, put new bulb but still does not work. All other lights working okay.

Please try another bulb before you go for something else. Many times happened to me even the new bulb not working. Advice: just remove the good bulb of brake light you have on driver's side and try it on the passenger side. If it works,surely another bulb. If not,ask for an Electrician to help.

965 Ford Mustang 2+2 fastback. I noticed a hose hanging rear

The hose is likely the differential vent hose. If you get under there and take a look around the rear end you will likely see where it was originally secured.

How to replace license plate bulbs on 2005 cadilac deville

To change the bulbs all you have to do is put a flat blade screw driver on the right side of the bulb housing and gently push to the left (towards the driver's side). This will release the catch holding it in and it will drop out and down on the end of its wiring connector. Twist the bulb counter clockwise to release it. Replace the bulb and just put the housing back into the opening left side first, then just push up on the right side till you hear a click.
