| Description of the problem | All right rear lamps failed at the same time, showing failures on the instrument panel. After online investigation, i found that several people had the same issue. There were pictures of the wiring harness with the center (grounding) pin burnt off. I found the same issue with mine. The failure occurred during normal driving with no lights on on an open county road, in good weather. No signs of any moisture in the tail light enclosure. I was able to solder in a wire to complete the ground circuit and allow the lights to function again. But due to the failure, i was without a right rear turn signal until i got home, which is a safety concern. And apparently i'm not the only one it's happened to. |
