Does this guy you know at Canby Ford still think he can do this? :) I washed my truck yesterday and it is still leaking, so I guess my "fix" didn't really work - I must have missed something. Time for the pros to fix it right.
Just sent you a PM.

Hey all, I suggest you do take these into the dealer for repairs, mostly because parts like this may get sent back (and hopefully not end up on my desk) to the supplier to check. Design revisions may be made for later parts to prevent these issues.

I have to say I'm surprised they're incandescent bulbs, automotive likes to use LEDs because we can weld the two housing halfs together to make sure they seal well. I think I have one of these signals in a box, will have to take a look at it.

Mine is all fixed and now both sides have LEDs. No more leaks here!

A month ago, I noticed the same thing on the driver's side. Moisture and water in the turn signal housing. The dealer ordered the parts and the day before my appointment, Covid-19 shut Michigan down. So now I have to wait a few more weeks.

I just got my pickup back. The housing was replaced under warranty.

I have this same issue. Just bought the truck used. Only happened on the passenger side. Simple wash did it.
