I took my 06 Uly on a road trip to Arkansas. About 300 miles into the trip, I noticed my turn signals were completely inoperative. When I arrived at my destination, I noticed a broken ground wire right behind the Headlight assembly. The Turn signal wire was broken at the connector. The second connector which I believe is the ECM ground was holding on by a few strands. It was a easy fix, purchased a connector at the auto parts store and crimped it back onto the wire. You guys might what to check those ground wire connections. If that ECM ground would of broke, I would of been stranded on the side of the road

Yep it is a common issue on the 06. 07+ has a little plastic wire guide to prevent it. : )
