| Description of the problem | Driver rear light (backup, blinker and brake) lights stopped working. When i was checking the bulbs it appears that the middle pin on the wiring harness has caused a short that broke the pin and also melted some of the harness. The vehicle has 53,000 miles on it. I looked online and there have been several other 2016 jeep renegades that have had the same issue in the last year. We have had intermentant issues with the lighting system freaking out but it never effected the performance and would reset its self after about 25 miles. The dealership we took it to said that the vehicle needed a software update which they did. It seemed to correct that issue as it has only happened once in the last 20,000 miles or so. But this seems to be a bigger issue. |
