Detailed Description

This Standard Ignition tail light socket is made for restoring the electrical connection at the rear lamp assembly when the original socket no longer holds a reliable contact. The S-773 uses a female connector with wire-lead terminals, making it a practical replacement for vehicles that need a 2-wire tail light socket in the original style. It is a direct-fit electrical service part for Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth models including Dodge Aries, Plymouth Reliant, Chrysler LeBaron, and Chrysler Town & Country.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Intermittent tail light operation caused by a weak socket connection
• Corrosion at the rear lamp electrical contact points
• Heat damage or wear in the original tail light socket
• Broken or loose wire-lead connections at the lamp assembly
• Electrical continuity problems in rear lighting circuits

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s original connector style, terminal layout, and wire count before installation. Match the socket to the existing rear lamp wiring and confirm the application notes for your Chrysler LeBaron, Dodge Aries, Plymouth Reliant, or Chrysler Town & Country. Inspect the surrounding harness and lamp housing for corrosion or heat damage so the replacement socket can make a clean, stable connection.
