| Description of the problem | Warning light came on to check right side tail and brake lamps. Warning sign to also check right turn signal. It appears that these come on after driving about 30s-1min. When opened up the right back light kit, the plastic harness holding the bulbs and wires is burning slightly and slightly charred. Light bulbs are working as they do initially turn on, but then go off after 30s-1min. Also light comes up on check rear left tail and brake lamps. But these work fine, and the left back light kit plastic harness appears normal and fine. |
