: 3 lights out in 5 months?

I have an 09 LT (bought used) and I have had 3 lights go out in a span of 5 months:
Sept- driver's side back signal
Dec- Driver's side parking light (left side)
Jan- passenger's side inside door handle

I thought that if they were all on the same side it may some electrical issue but...any ideas? I am frustrated with the ridiculous complexity of replacing them!

Any ideas or is it just coincidence and I should shake the chicken leg for better luck?

thanks

Just sounds like bad coincidence. If you have less than 3/36 the bulbs should be covered.

Any aftermarket add-ons that can cause voltage spikes? Have you checked the alternator wiring to make sure there isn't anything that can cause significant resistance to be overcome. Also, I've used an Equus 3721 monitor to debug charging system anomalies in the past.
