Default Corner Marker gone wild!

Hi lads/ladies

I encountered this weird problem with my passanger side corner marker today. When I flick on the lights, for some reason the corner marker on that side turns on. It's only on that side. I'm guessing it should either be on both side or none. Both turn signals work and both corners light up when I turn the warning lights on.

Any ideas?

(note: CORNER marker..not side marker)

They both "work", but one comes on and stays on when the headlights are turned on. Are they both supposed to be on when the headlights are on or neither? I've never really looked before.

HAHA! Thanks Dave!

I always knew there was something funny about my handle..

Figured the stupid light thing out. Ya, it was the driver side corner light that was being a bitch. I took it apart and when I was putting it back together I noticed the bulb wasn't sitting in the socket right. I took it back out and tried bending all the contacts. That seemed to work. The bulb sits nice and snug in there now. If it happens again I'll be sanding the contacts..looks like they might have a little corrosion on them.

Thanks!
