Replace a worn or damaged turn signal bulb holder with the Dorman Conduct-Tite Turn Signal Lamp Socket 85833, a 3-wire, double-contact electrical socket with a neoprene sleeve, built for front and rear turn signal applications. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1994-1999 Dodge Ram 1500, 1994-1999 Dodge Ram 2500 and 1983-1987 Dodge Charger. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
- 3-Wire Design: A double-contact socket with three wire leads and a neoprene sleeve, for front and rear turn signal use.
- Extra-Long Leads: Dorman engineers its socket assemblies with extra-long leads and multiple butt connectors for joining to the vehicle's existing wiring.
- Simple Installation: Easy to install, with no special tools needed.
- Quality Construction: Made from high-quality materials to strict engineering quality standards.
The socket holds the turn signal bulb and carries current to it through its wire leads. Over time a socket can corrode, crack or suffer heat damage, which may interrupt that connection. If a failed socket is the cause of a turn signal that flickers, works only intermittently or stays dark, the 85833 replaces it. Check the bulb, flasher and ground before replacing, since they can produce similar signs.
