| Description of the problem | I received a message to check the rear right (passenger) lights and turn signal. I just purchased the car used on may 20, 2014, and began getting the dashboard warning a few days later, but it was intermittent. On may 26, 2014, i inspected of the bulb carrier and pin connector and noticed that the connection involving the brown wire on the pin connector was burned and the corresponding connection on the bulb carrier was also burned/disintegrated and the area around the brown wire was very hot. It is difficult to know when the failure actually happened. |
