The turn signals on the Tempo don’t work. The bulbs just fall out of their sockets...every single day I go to work because the road is rough and the sockets are loose.

Merging is interesting. I’d fix it, but then the next day they break again, so I have resigned myself to my fate of imitating BMWs.

Do your hazards still work? Assuming not, this sounds like a bad situation waiting to happen.

A drop of superglue around the ring?

Those seem kind of important. Can you glue/tape them in place? Guessing you live somewhere without inspections?

I bet some clear packing tape would hold them in for while!

If it’s just the socket that’s broken, you should be able to get a new one from your favorite local parts store.

No. The hazards just show up as solid state on the dash and the outside does nothing.

Simulating hazards would be entertaining.

I had a ‘92 Tempo with the 3.0 Vulcan V6 and unfortunate 3-speed auto. Oddly, it was one of my favorite cars and I have nothing but fond memories of it.

They're really simple mechanically and electrically, and super easy to fix. Parts availably is probably getting tougher these days, though.

Shouldn’t be hard to order some new sockets and retrofit them maybe?
