lamp out chime

Just a heads up in case it happens to someone else...

My 'lamp out' indicator started coming on randomly the other day. All lights checked out, front, back, brake, etc.

A minor annoyance - except the silly thing chimes everytime the indicator would light - and sometimes it would that would happen 10-20-50 times in a row.

On a hunch I pulled the rear taillight that had had a bulb go out a year or so ago. When I had changed the bulb then there were signs of arcing between the socket and bulb - I guess the spring contacts on the socket don't apply enough pressure. When I pulled it out this time - same thing, and the bulb connection was a bit eaten away too. Cleaned the socket up with a knife blade, gooped it up with dielectric compound and dropped a new bulb in. All fixed.

Hope this helps someone else. Listening to that chime go off non-stop gets old really quickly.
