Heat did better than anything else in those tests.

Can't be tight if it's liquid! That is a fact!

Well I'm stumped and frustrated. The left front corner lamp lights up as a parking light, but not as a blinker. I changed the bulb, nothing. I changed the headlight wiring harness, nothing. Why could this be happening? A poor ground for the turn signal? How would I even remedy that??

Actually I saw a test somebody linked here and Aerokroil did worse than PB Blaster, and WD40 did slightly better than PB Blaster at loosening rusted bolts. I’ve been using WD40 forever and find it works at least as good as PB plus it’s good for lots of other stuff.

I like Project Farm and trust his results, with one caveat... if I were paying full price for Kroil then it would definitely sway my decision, however every time I have ever ordered any Kreen they have always sent me a can of Kroil for "free" and I have to say it is some really good stuff.

I have an old engine hoist/cherry picker that had been sitting out in my backyard for many years with the heavy cast rollers/casters buried in the sand. When I finally needed it the casters were rusted and seized. I layed it over on it's back and got as much dirt and sand off as I could and then sprayed them down with Kroil and let them sit for a few minutes. I then smacked them with a hammer and sprayed them again. They freed up and rolled like new. I was truly surprised as I didn't really expect them to be usable again.

You checked the fuses?

Does your left rear turn signal work?

Ok now I feel like an idiot. I checked all the fuses yesterday and didn't see one specifically for the left turn signal. I checked it just now (thanks to your suggestion) and saw it was partially burned. Switched it out and I'm back in action. Sorry to bother everyone for such a stupid thing!

No worries... it gets a lot of people.... glad you figured it out.

The older vehicles didn't have separate fuses for left and right turns usually.

Agree, Run the motor for a few minutes to warm the pipes up then hit with PB and they should come right out....

That's exactly what I did. They came right out. I was able to get them out and in with a 22mm open end wrench. But it was an ordeal to snake the wrench in there with enough room to move it. I need to get me one of them socket thingies.
