Red/Green Running Lights Not Working

[Gearyg]

My running lights (red and green) on my 210 2002 in the front stopped working last week. Before I started to trouble shoot this, I was wondering if there was anyone out there that had the same issue and if it is a common issue/solution…thanks.

I have the same boat corrosion at the bulbs is what i found.

I also have the problem on and off. I clean the corosion off the bulds and it is ok. I have also had one of the wires come at the connection by the bulb. The fixture needs replace but they are expensive for what they are. Dont know if there is a warrantee on them or not.

Once you get the corrosion cleaned off, put some anti-corrosion gel on the bulb ends before replacing in the housing. It will double or triple the life of the fix. You can buy it in a tube at any auto parts house, like NAPA.

I use the stuff on every electrical connection I clean or make new. On the trailer too. Really reduces the need for repeat attention to wire splices and bulb connections.
