Thanks, it was the bulbs. There are no fuses specific to the corner lights. However, they are controlled by the turn signal/light switch, which I determined was working properly.
Should there be any "play" between the steering column transfer gear where it connects to the rack and pinion unit? If so, how much, and if not, is it the result of a bad gear in the unit? My steering is "sloppy".
Just did this on my 98 in the spring. Yea, the pulley needs to come off. Just take your time, double check everything as you are putting it back together and everything will be fine.
