Keep the brake, tail, and turn signal lamps making solid electrical contact with the Standard Ignition Brake Light Socket / Tail Light Socket / Turn Signal Light Socket, part number S2142. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2006-2009 Chevrolet Equinox [All], where the listed application uses two sockets. This part is listed under multiple category names — brake light socket, tail light socket, and turn signal light socket — because the same socket serves those lamp functions.
A light socket holds the bulb and connects it to the vehicle's wiring so the lamp receives power and ground. Over time the terminals inside a socket can corrode, loosen, or overheat, and worn contacts are common signs this part may need replacing.
- Restores the bulb-to-harness connection: provides the mating point that seats the bulb and carries power and ground to the lamp.
- Signs it may need replacing: flickering, dim, or intermittent brake/tail/turn signal lamps, or discolored, melted, or corroded terminals.
- Application quantity: the listed Equinox application uses two sockets; order the quantity your repair requires.
If a failed socket is the cause of an inoperative or intermittent lamp, this replaces it. Manufacturer part number S2142.
