Real right turn signal light - Pontiac Montana SV6 2005

Hello,
How do I replace the bulb for the rear right turn signal light on my 2005 Pontiac Montana SV6. I bought the replacement bulb at the store but don't know how to get to the old one.

If the 2005 Montana is similar to the 2001 Montana, I have a solution. First you'll need a hexagonal wrench (the 6-sided L-shaped wrench). The tail light assembly is held on by two screws. You'll need the hexagonal wrench to remove them, because a normal screwdriver won't do it. I also had to use a conventional adjustable wrench to get the leverage to turn the hexagonal wrench, because the screws were in there pretty tight. Once you remove the two screws, the whole tail light assembly should come off. Mine required a little force and I had to play with it a bit, but it came off without a lot of work. There will be one set of wires that connects the tail light assembly to the rest of the minivan--try not to damage that set of wires. Once you get the tail light assembly off, you'll have to take apart the assembly that actually holds the lights. No tools should be required. It's held on by four plastic catches. Just undo the catches (easier said than done, but still not too tough) and it comes apart. Then you can pop out the old light and pop in the new light. Then re-assemble. For me, it went back together much easier than it came apart.

Why does my front right turn signal on my 2006 Pontiac Montana not work when the headlights are on?

What does the rear turn signal do? If one of the signal lights are not working, the other will blink faster. With the headlights off the turn signal bulbs ground through the light holder. With the headlights on the running lights are using the same ground circuit. Make sure all bulbs are good with a good ground.

My left turn signal flashes rapidly after applying the break

Check your bulbs sound like one is burnt out, or it is not properly grounded. Good luck.

Right turn signal does not work after replacing bulb - 2003 Pontiac Montana

There is probably another burnt out bulb somewhere.
If that is NOT the case then check your flasher relay under the hood, it should be near or in the main fuze box. You can test it by having someone flick the blinker switch and listening you should hear a clicking sound.

Replace front right turn signal bulb

I replaced the front right turn signal on my 2005 Pontiac Montana by reaching up from underneath. I tried removing the battery but the opening from above was too small. I was able to pull the ground effects open enough to get my arm in. When you reach the bulb holder feel for two wings on the bulb socket and give the whole socket a quarter turn to and it will release. The wires are long enough so the entire bulb holder will drop down below the vehicle so you can easily replace the bulb.
Reverse the step to put it back in. You will not be able to see what you are doing so I had someone guide me by watching from above. Took less than 10 minutes once I decided to change the bulb from the bottom. I did not need to jack the vehicle up or use ramps.

1998 pontiac transport/montana has not tail or break lights...turn signals blink fast or not at all. changed rear bulbs and noticed carbon on front build up on front bulbs. Help!

If one of the filaments in the bulbs is burned out, the remaining working lights will flash alot quicker.
Check the bulbs, and replace if the filaments are broken.
If the front bulb has a carbon build up it blown out...change it..
Once the bulbs are replaced your signals should work properly.
