Hey guys i created a sort of problem with my blinkers. I was checking my passenger side blinker the other day. I needed to see the bulb number so i had to get the bulb out. Now, never doing this i thought the bulb came out the back so i pulled and unplugged it instead. Ok so i plugged it back in , looked at the bulb again and figured out how to get it out. After i get the bulb out, theres this grease ALL OVER the bulb. The only thing i thought it could be was(after this all happened) di-electric(sp?) grease. So, not thinking, i wiped all of it off and tried to get as much out of the socket as possible. Now after i put the bulb back in there sometimes it loses the connection in the front. The back will blink really fast till i fix the front. The only way i fix it is by moving the wire/plug around and it works again. This is really getting to me. Should i have left all that grease on? I can't see how i loosened wires, just by taking it off once or twice. Anybody else know a fix?

sounds like it is not plugged in right. unplug it like you did and tighten up the connections after cleaning them put it back together and hope for the best.
