I have had this problem before and it was because of the wrong type of light bulb. If the bulb you replaced was intended for a two filiment bulb and you replaced it with one, this will happen as the turn signal will close the loop for your dash lights and everything will blink. I would just put a two filiment bulb in place and it should be fine.

I bought a new Endeavor AWD LS in 2005, it was a great tow vehicle. I purchased the bolt on factory hitch. There were many ways to wire in a new harness, but they all involved cutting wires and splicing which I am not big on. So I broke down and paid the $55.00 for the plug in kit made by the factory. All you do to install it is pop of the left rear side panel and plug in the adaptor, it comes with all necessary materials and directions. I know that I paid alot for it but it never caused any problems. I sold the vehicle and purchased another one, a 2006 Endeavor AWD Limited. Again, I ended up purchasing the darn adapter, but I purchased the hitch directly from Curtis Mfg. and installed myself, saving a nice piece of change. I know that we all hate to spend unnecessarily, but when it comes to electrical wiring, these new vehicles are very sensitive to electrical modifications, etc., it might be easier, saving time and problems down the road to just buy the factory wiring adaptor. I am towing a 20' Regal boat on an aluminum trailer, the GVW for the boat and trailer is around 3000 lbs. My Endeavor does a fine job, I don't however live in any hills or mountains, I am on flat land by the coast. Good Luck!

One of my red rear lights is brighter than the other

I noticed after driving my wife who was driving the SUV that one of the rear light is brighter than the other. We are not talking about just a little brighter but a lot. It is as bright as when she hit the break. Therefore if she hits the break, the other light will become as bright as the first one. Somehow for that one light, it is stuck at the brake light intensity.
Has anyone experience this? Is this due to an incompatible bulb?

Do You happen to have the part number to this electrical plug ? I have a 2004 mitsubishi and have encountered the same problem. I too hate the splicing wires.

I have a 2004 Endeavor XLS and for the life of me I cannotkeep the glove box door from squeeking. Open the glove box door and it quits, big deal. I have tried stick on pads in inconspicuous places, but no help. Anybody had this problem?

I don't have an Endeavor but I have had similar problems on other vehicles. The sticky pads was a good first move though. With the glove box open, there might be some screws visible on the latch/locking mechanism that resides in the glove box door. Try adjusting those. Also, try applying a little bit of lubricant to the plastic hinges. One last thing, is the glove box still noisy when you've completely removed all of its contents?

Thanks. I tried all of the mentioned in your letter. Finally I got the glovebox out altogether. There is no adjustment on the "Catch", therefore I just bent it slightly and so far, it seems to cure the problem. It just stuck out a bit too far. Again, thanks for your response.

You should check out the thread of "Grille Inserts" in Honda Odyssey site here. There are many D-I-Y options, cost from $4 to $200's ... I protected my Bumper opening by $4 Home Depot gutter screen + plastic cable ties. The Honda condensor replacement costs $750.00.
A guy posted photos re how to do it there, take off the front then assemble them back. I spent about 45 mins to complete the job

Hey sorry for the delay in my response. Cool. Glad that you fixed it. I never thought about removing the glovebox entirely for a better look at it. Thanks for the tip.
