Turn Signal Fun
 
I decided it's time to sort out my front turn signal indicators and one of them has a curious problem: the passenger side socket isn't grounding. I used my multimeter to check continuity between the side of the socket and the metal housing, and there's no flow.

I believe that normally the socket is just swaged onto the housing, but on mine there is some solder which makes me suspect that this is an old problem that was never fixed correctly.

I figure there's two ways to fix this: find another one, or replace the socket. I'm open to suggestions.

I'd replace the socket or fixture assembly and be done with it. I played the "try to fix it" game only to have it fail whenever I hit a pothole. I replace the front signal assembly and never had a problem since.
